Take It To The Streets - Day 8

Walking the Dog  

Brilliant afternoon sunshine 

- and brilliant color against the snow    

Although the temperatures have been cold, the sunshine is bright and inviting. Dogs need to be walked no matter what the weather, and their owners need the exercise, even if it is a bit of a job getting dressed to go outside. Then, once you are outside, it's certainly worth the effort.

Red, White and Blue  

Red pants, white snow and blue shadows

- a winter color scheme    

The sun is strong on clear winter days, and the shadows are cast in saturated blues. The pedestrian was walking through the parking lot of the corner gas-bar - and the colors were brilliant in the sunshine: Red, White and Blue.  

Take It To The Streets - Day 6

Cold Walking Today  

The only people who are outside

- are the people who have to be out     

Whether you measure the temperature on this sunny winter's day as -30 degrees Celcius or -20 degrees Fahrenheit, it's cold. Anyone who is out for any length of time has to be well-dressed against the chill. Jacket, sweater, cap, gloves, snowpants, boots, everything has to be windproof and warm, and this fellow is set for it. I said "You look cold, can I take your picture?" He agreed and he even gave me a warm smile. 

Take It To The Streets - Day 4

A Shopper Striding in Snow  

A shopper balances on an icy walkway

- with a heavy bag of groceries     

It's interesting to watch how people walk on a slippery surface, and it's especially interesting to observe how they adjust their bodies and and the things that they carry. In this case the load is heavy and the shopper carries it close to his body to keep himself balanced. He watches his way and he proceeds quickly but very carefully.
