Snowstorm, More Photos

 

This first photograph is from this morning, when I woke and saw how much snow we had gotten overnight.  All I could think of is "There's a car under there!"  The next few photographs are from yesterday.

This is the old Sea Cliff Water Company building that was a pump house at one time.  It had not been used in years and then the Village bought it from the water company and it is being refurbished to be used for village activities.  It is a classic building and looks so nice in the snow here along with the large tree in the foreground.

I think that this is kind of an exercise in composition.  The fence and the bench look like they are made of similar pieces of wood, and when I saw the crossed rails I realize that was what made this photograph interesting.  Without the crossed rails it would have been just a bench and a fence.

After walking along the shore I started up the long hill to the center of town.  Halfway up I saw this house and loved the monochrome color scheme - white and gray, and the American Flag made it all more interesting.

This house is the iconic Victorian home in Sea Cliff.  It is called "The Woodshed" and I have photographed it over the years, but always from the other side so that you can see all of the building in its stunning architectural beauty.  So I thought this was an interesting way to look at it in a snowstorm, with the tree in front of it.

And so back to today.  After breakfast I got out the monster snow blower that I love dearly!  It makes short work of what used to be a couple of hours of shoveling snow by hand.  I was done clearing the driveway and around the cars and the walk to the back door and a path to the BBQ.  Then I used a shovel and broom on the front porch and the steps, and then the back porch and steps.  An hour and a half and I was done.! Then I headed over to our neighbor's house.  Her neighbor across the street is really good with doing her driveway with his snow blower, which I used to do.  He cleaned her driveway yesterday afternoon, and so this morning I cleaned off the snow that had fallen after that.  What do they say?  "Many hands make light work!"
