Your Snow Photos

Mount Wellington, Tasmania

Photograph by Michael Walters, My Shot

This was captured on Mount Wellington in the capital city of Tasmania, the island state of Australia. This mountain overlooks the city and is only a ten-minute drive from it. I was lucky enough to capture one of the most beautiful sunsets on this very cold winter's day. I also got some minor frostbite on my hands for the effort. Gloves next time.

Sled Dogs, Canada

Photograph by Michelle Valberg, My Shot

Going for a dogsled ride in Igloolik was an amazing experience. White light, snow lightly falling, and only the sound of the dogs and sled beneath you. Words can't describe it well enough.

Monument Valley, Utah

Photograph by Michael Bennett, My Shot

The weather that day at Monument Valley called for a big thunderstorm; instead we got white-out conditions. We made the most of it, and eventually dramatic skies and a contrasting landscape created a very satisfying shot.

Hamlin Lake, Michigan

Photograph by John Dykstra, My Shot

What's the definition of solitude? How about walking 40 minutes on a frozen, snow-veiled lake? That was my situation when I went for an early morning hike on Hamlin Lake in Ludington, Michigan, last winter. The visuals were brilliant, surreal, and compelling. Complete silence as a mute storm front rolled past overhead. During the walk, I noticed in the distance an isolated structure in the middle of nowhere. The resulting image is what I found.

Horses love the snow; they run, kick, and roll for about the first 20 minutes of being in it.

Sovetov Peak, Kazakhstan

Photograph by Elmar Akhmetov, My Shot

This shot was taken in June 2009, when we decided to climb up to Sovetov Peak (altitude 4,317 meters) during the weekend. Though it was a tough road to the top, on our way back we wanted to make some shots and have some fun. Big Almaty Lake is situated at the bottom of the mountain, so in this shot a friend of mine is jumping over it.

West Highland Terrier

Photograph by Sam Friedman, My Shot

Clara is a female West Highland white terrier. This photograph was taken at a schoolyard near our Towson, Maryland, home after a snowstorm in December 2009. She was born August 14, 2009, so she was just four months old when this image was captured.

Sparks Lake, Oregon

Photograph by Chris Scott, My Shot

Went snowshoeing last weekend and had a blast. The road to Sparks Lake, Cascade Lakes Highway, was blocked by snow, so we snowshoed back to explore. Hard to believe this was taken at the end of May.

Cars, Vancouver

Photograph by Yumi Imai, My Shot

While I trudged through the knee-high snow during Vancouver's Great Snowfall of Christmas 2008, I passed a car dealership that, on that day, did not show off shiny new cars, but rather portrayed a patterned winter wonderland. The tranquility I felt while snapping this photo reminded me to always stop and look around at our beautiful environment and not always get swept up in our fast-paced world.

Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone

Seljalandsfoss, Iceland

Photograph by Egill Ibsen, My Shot

Shot in April 2010 near Seljalandsfoss (waterfall) in Iceland. A young man braved the odds to climb the icy steps leading to the waterfall, but he did not finish the climb and soon turned back. Image cropped, but not altered in any other way.

Quebec Province, Canada

Photograph by Emiliano Joanes, My Shot

After a snowstorm the town of Shefford in Quebec Province, Canada, looked like another city in space. The photo shows the trees and shrubs covered with snow, and the Communications Tower on the left, with its solitary figure, gives the impression aliens have landed here.
