Shovel it

It's a winter wonderland here in Elgin, thanks to the white frosting of snow we got last night. I took some photos of the snow, which you can see here:
Snowy scene, 12/6/08.

Some of the photos look like they're black&white, but they're not! It was just the pale light, the white snow, and the silhouetted trees. It's a gorgeous palette of pale silver and gray.
