They are different, but all so beautiful. I can't choose just one...

Winter is such a magical time. I often hear adults saying they don't like snow and I feel like they are missing out on something.

Thank you so much for putting this together and especially for including my little video in here. I appreciate this so very much! ❤️

Thank YOU for looking, Susanne!

I like the one from Travis Huggett. It is both simple and complex at the same time. A minimum amount of color and a bold taste of color. It's been a few years since I've been to Wisconsin in the winter. I need to change that.

Indeed, that's a good one. Have you seen Travis' newsletter? You might like it, Rick: https://travishuggett.substack.com/ Thanks for looking!

Andy, thank you for sharing this and supporting winter enthusiasts! I’m from Madison and it wasn’t until I moved West that I realized snow is part of who I am. These photos capture the feeling so well, especially Travis Huggit’s because it reminds me of the all of the majestically snow covered Midwestern barns I’m missing out on now. Thanks for the love letter to this season!

Thanks for looking, Monica. Happy holidays!

To you as well! Will Madison be having a snowy Xmas?

It doesn't seem so...

Fulford captures the everyday fun of winter. Love the vivid, concentrated color and energy of icicle-picking with friends, surrounded by the monotonous, monotone suburban vibes. The image fits your message, Andy... winter can suck if we don't find a way to make it awesome. If we're blind to the magic, it's not winter's fault. Thanks for sharing this set.

Cheers, Nick. Peyton is great. Do you know her work? She writes a newsletter here, too. Check out her site. Are you based in Madison? Whereabouts?

I'll do that, thanks. I'm on the near east side, near Jenifer St. Market. Maybe we'll run into each other at the butcher counter sometime?

Right on. I'm in Tenney-Lapham by the Youth Art Center. Are you a photographer? We should grab a coffee sometime.

Can’t decide between Garfunkel and Huggett ... I know one is all scale and the other is smaller, more specific, but they both caught my eye. It looks like we’re in an area that doesn’t really do hard winters so I appreciate peering into these, Andy.

Damn, those are beautiful! (except the C-stand one. C-stands are forbidden in-frame. unless you're a freshman. after that, no C-stands in-frame) I woulda submitted but winter here looks just like the rest of the year.

Elke keer dat we ons gekwetst voelen, nodigt het leven ons uit om te vergeven, niet om het gedrag goed te keuren, maar om onszelf te bevrijden van de ketenen van oordeel en weer terug te keren naar vrede en liefde.

I think Andrew Foster's rose is quite creative. And the Travis Huggett shed hits my sensibilities. Thanks for doing this. I'm going review my archive to see if I have anything noteworthy. BTW, I've joined Bluesky, still finding my around. I looks promising. I was glad to find you there.

All of them look cold, like the movie The Revenant. I like the one from Anders Hviid the best; it's a beautiful picture of the vastness of desolation.

Beautiful awe-inspiring work! I love what you’ve shared in today’s post. Thank you!

These are all beautiful in their own way but the works by Michail Zuhorski and Travis Huggett stand out for me. The simple minimalism and colour within each one is what struck me. Thanks Andy!
