Brianne's ping was the perfect excuse I needed to go out. It was the Saturday after a brutal week at Darden and even with exams looming large, I just couldn't get myself to study. Most Facebook statuses ran on the lines of 'Oh it's snowing in C'ville...'. For a lot of us it was the first snowfall of our lives. My mind went back to another Saturday morning earlier this year, when I had ventured out in harsher temperatures. It wasn't snowing back then, though.
I love lamp posts. There's this old world, story like charm to them. Always reminds me of childhood stories of a quiet town, with a railway station and a solitary lamp post. And the yellow in this case looked so contrasting against the backdrop.
Contrast, again. This time red against white. A much stronger one. And the way the snowflakes had melted to form a lump of watery ice and had yet managed to stay atop the red berries.
Park benches at Darden. Another one of those objects towards which I have a strange attraction. No reason. Totally random.
Same colors. Same lump of ice. Different setting.
Stripped of all its leaves, the branches of the tree still prevent the grass underneath from being totally covered with snow, adding a dash a green to the picture.

I love how you make the colors (the red berries against the snow; the yellow lamp against the tree) pop! It makes me see the Darden-scape in a whole new way. :)
stunning pics :)
Some great photos!! I'm impressed. :)
I love your pics:)
Contrasting colours evoke a medley of emotions in my heart , the luminance of the lamp post adds dazzle to the sombre grandeur of the white snow in a way the first morning sun lights up the world......may be u can consider photography as a career option after DARDEN...be assured if... u click well, its a passport to a lifetime of huge pay cheques...(kidding) ....good going dadabhai...
