We have had exceptional weather the last few weeks. + + + + . Some of our southern members may still think it's bone chilling cold, however when it could be -20 to -30C or colder it's a welcome relief and it sure makes winter seem shorter.

On that note I went downtown last night without gloves , a hat and an open coat to take some shots. Converted these to BW.

Great compositions and great conversions, buddy. I like the walking bridge very much and the last shot looks surreal. Cool stuff.

Thanks buddy I am liking the BW conversion.

These are good sharp night shots from you, note the word night.
Are you under going vampire apprenticeship by any chance.

Yes I am currently a 'day walker' however they sun is starting to hurt my eyes .

Great shots, Dave. Especially the last one is an exeptionally good conversion.

Thanks Volley appreciate the comment.

I would say it was too windy last night, couldn't sleep at all!
I really like the bridge shot, it will be too bad when they tear it down.

Yeah the wind and clouds came out of no where , and I agree that will be a sad day and it will be a couple of years before they build another one (if they really do).

When it comes to cold weather, we can be pretty wimpy down here.If it gets below 40 F we act like it's the end of the world. We're just not built for the cold air. Great images! Love the bridge and wind swept clouds in #3. If seen some great images taken with that lens--looks like a keeper

haah thanks Knock we whine here when it gets too hot (anything above 30C)

I really love the angles you've taken here, and that last one is a stunner! Thanks for braving the not-that-cold nights for us.

Thanks Ian it was not so cold on Saturday (above freezing) but today we got a blast of winter again. And warm again tomorrow - strange winter this one.

Great! I like all three, but #3 is awesome! Just wow!

Thanks ivrabec985 glad you liked it.

I'm favouring the second shot of the bridge, myself. The foreground makes the shot for me.

Thanks Canada_Rockies that bridge is great and as mentioned unfortunately will not be around much longer.

Very very nice !

Thanks Michael.

Really enjoyed the series bud, soon you'll be in shorts again. You're a tough dude to get out in that type of weather.

haha Thanks buddy yep we are on the down swing now ....

I loved the color one, but the monochrome is so dramatic, it really stands out. Well done on both.

Thanks monoloco appreciate you stopping by to comment.
