University Avenue, Toronto

Love the creamy snow -- goes well with Mary Pickford, who had a most interesting career.
My husband loves silent movies, and when we were dating some three decades ago in L.A., he took me to the Silent Movie Theatre, which was still thriving then, though on a low budget, which meant no heat. It was winter, though obviously not as cold as in Toronto, and we were watching "The White Hell of Piz Palü."
Some experiences are much more amusing after the fact.

I wasn't familiar with "White Hell", but I looked it up and concluded that the lack of heat must have made the movie a much more authentic experience. What luck you have.

Awesome winter shot!

Thanks, William.

Plenty of snow that year. Mary looks miffed. So does the fire hydrant.

We have about as much snow at the moment, so I suspect Mary looks as miffed today. Here the hydrant has definitely had the worst of it.

she is on the phone, I guuess ;-))

Good point, Lutz. More evidence that we've been misled about the history of the cellphone:

Everything covered in snow, including America's sweetheart. ;)

Snow has no respect, Will.

You just couldn't resist sneaking a piece of street furniture into the shot, could you? I does make for a great contrast with the statue though.

A superb shot John.............very well composed and taken!

Thanks, Keith. Fire hydrants are cute. The ones here are hard to shoot, though. Those black caps seem to absorb light.

Eine schöne Winterimpression. Die Kälte springt rüber zum Betrachter. Mir fallen die schneebedeckte Skuöptur und der Hydrant besonders auf!

Thanks, Rainer.

You have really a good eye for compositions!

Thank you very much, Berny.

Well composed snowy scene: for me the hydrant at right photobombs Mary. :-)

Thanks, George. The hydrabt is better constructed, too, I think.

Whatever fascinating speech is the hydrant delivering to the statue?

Whatever it was, John, it was in too high a pitch for my aged ears. I hadn't noticed the resemblance between hydrants and orators before, so that will make my trips around Toronto more enjoyable. Thanks.

Better get snow than pigeon's stuff on his head !

Which is more likely in Toronto.

what a beautiful photo

Have a nice weekend:)
