I like the colors of nr 1, Lennardinio !!!
Much better than the blue.

But the lower top of the icicle is not in focus, and this is pity.

Build a snowtown with lot of stairs
Ok, dont build.... I also remember your good relationship with snow. Let the children of neighbourhood do the job
Or take your wife shopping and spend that time in the shoppingcenter with the stairs
BTW, have you forgot, that you have got 13 days.

I cant announce "weather" any more. Although I thought of it some time ago

David, I even mentioned, that the stairs may be under the snow. It is enough, if it is somehow understandable that there should be stairs.
Even those who live in bungalo leave their beloved place sometimes, dont they ?

I am quite sure, that you are all able to find sth interesting!
And I really hope that people enter already before the last couple of days.
You were lucky, David ! Not too many last moment entries.

Mike, you said, that you want to go back Ludlow once

Not possible !

I would be dust to dust in your club !

OK !

Welcome!

I have still not understood, may I look at this thread or not ?
Some judges do and some do not....I have noticed.
Just kick me out, when you feel the need

From the last times, when I had to judge, I remember several stairs draw my attention). To my mind it has not been a theme yet. And should be available for anyone: outdoors and indoors, even under tha snow if you prefer It should give opportunity to play with light, composition and mood, being abstract or realistic...the choice is yours.
So:
STAIRS

GOOD LIGHT AND EVEN BETTER IDEAS!

Thanks, David !
And thanks for all the congratulations!
I hoped to be mentioned, but first !

Strange thing is that both my first win and also now, the winning pic was taken not thinking of the competition at all. Just going through the pics of the latest day(s) gave the idea to use it.

Anyway, the competition is always a bit matter of luck too.
Luckily we really have a wonderful fairytale weather here this winter! Quite unusual. This weekend it is threatened with -25 C. And still snow coming before that. Tallinn is a snow-town already: The reccord of 62 cm of snow was made and the heaps of snow on the road edges prevent the traffic already - these are 1,5 m high
As I have heard, snow is visiting other places too

I am at work now and too busy...so it will take me time to announce the new theme. I am sry, guess it will be in the evening.
Back to the work now

It has been a great theme, so many photos. And so nice ones !
Hard work for David!

David's is definitly more natural. For sure
Maybe I have "blue days"

Of the composition I do like also nr 3. The diagonal cloud on the background adds too.
