The Frozen Crown

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 23 January 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Almost the last in a series of snowy shots. This one a slight homage to Still (though snow makes it easier).

Hi-Res version here.

Wow Damon! An artichoke under the snow!

@Martine Lapointe: :-) No, it's not an artichoke. It's a species of Jovibarba. In English we call these 'Hens and chicks'. Let's hope it survives the winter. Merci, Martine!

Is that an artichoke? In any event, I like the sense of emergence here and I picked up on the "Still-processing" immediately. Well done.

@Paul Ricciardi: Thanks, Paul. No artichokes. The compost bin is in the back yard. (but no artichokes there either).

A nice homage Damon. Hope you had a blinding birthday, stay warm, and remember you've some Glenlivet waiting for you over here if you fancy a nice warming whiskey round the (electric) fire.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks, Duncan! Yes, the thought of the Glenlivet waiting for me halfway around the world keeps me warm on even the coldest days.

Winter is here!

Love the look of this. It is very Still-esque! Nicely done!

@Stu: Thanks, Stu!

Could yesterday's title have been "The Frozen Clown"? :D

@Stu: Now you're making me laugh. I looked a right frozen clown as I was taking that shot with my leg all tucked up and my fingers numb with cold...
