Photo fun and duels

Lines, colour, the rule of thirds - all sorts of design choices when trying to frame a good looking photo and all combining into making me take a different slant on looking at things. Instead of seeing three planes in the sky, why not something out of a trailer for Wolverine?

Dave and I have had a balcony snowman duel ongoing for the last week after New York got hit with a major snowstorm - enough to fill his balcony with the fixings for a decent snowman and their first in New York. Unfortunately the weather here didn't cooperate until just last weekend when we finally got a little more snow. I dragged Col into making a snowman and we had a whole lot of fun despite the non-constructive qualities of dry powdery Alberta snow. Still you can judge for yourself the results.

There are some more photos up on my Flickr stream as well, testing out the new capabilities of our latest addition to the electronic family - a Canon Powershot A620
