Lens-Artists Challenge #73 – COLD

[Categories: Photography, Photography 101 Forever
[Photos this week are hosted right here on WordPress.  Somewhere…  serene.]

[Right-clicking on a photo might open it in a separate tab or window.]

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Tina.  As alway, her photos are superb.  See for yourself.

The theme is COLD.

“You’re as cold as ice
You’re willing to sacrifice our love
You want Paradise
But someday you’ll pay the price
I know”
–song by Foreigner

The mountains looked cool and cold from Kenosha Pass two years ago:

Hard-packed snow is cold at the annual Breckenridge Snow Sculpture competition:

‘I wuv’ you, Fernanda Waltmiller’:

(Hippo sings:)

“So won’t you, please
(Be my, be my baby) Be my little baby
(My one and only baby) Say you’ll be my darlin’
(Be my, be my baby) Be my baby now
Wha-oh-oh-oh
–song by The Ronettes

Jacque’s Peak, Copper Mountain Ski Resort, two different days:

“Jordan’s river is chilly and cold, hallelujah
Chills the body but not the soul, hallelujah”
–song by Johnny Rivers (Michael, Row the Boat Ashore)

The Yampa River is chilly and cold, in Steamboat Springs a year ago.  It’s pretty, too. Almost monochrome!

Stay warm.

One last cold quote, because it is purportedly from A Song Of Fire And Ice (a.k.a. Game of Thrones):

“A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.”

• Tyrion Lannister

I say amen to that! –JohnRH

Kudos to the tireless leaders of the weekly Lens-Artists challenge.

Weekly Challenge info from Tina:

“Each Saturday at noon EST we will publish a photo challenge similar in form to the now-defunct WPC. If you choose to participate, please make sure to tag your post with the name of our group LENS-ARTISTS so that all of the responses can be found together in the WP Reader.
