A cold snap seems to be blanketing the Northern hemisphere this week: Beijing had its coldest morning in 40 years according to the Associated Press. Matador colleagues Paul Sullivan, Lola Akinmade, and Andy Hayes are all rubbing their noses to keep warm over in Europe: Berlin, Stockholm, and Edinburgh, respectively. And my mom, down in South Carolina, is dressing in layers and probably sitting by the fire place.
Cold never stops New Yorkers, so Francisco was out in Central Park today, getting some winter shots:
You can see the rest of his Central Park photos here.
And if you want to see photos of other cities blanketed by snow, check out Hal Amen’s photo essay, Big Cities Under Snow.
Really nice shots! Love the depth of field on #3
Thanks, Lola!
I’m loving the evocative photography on Collazo Projects!
“Cold snap” is going on here in Brussels as well. But it’s still a good 25-30 degrees warmer than Minnesota! Cold definitely means different things in different places.
Thanks, Sonya!
Tanya-
I wonder when was the last time when so many countries experienced such bracing cold all at once. Minnesota: on my travel list for this year, but NOT in winter!
Yes – it is freezing
Thanks for the lovely photos! I love the tree. Makes me think, “if this tree could talk…”
Right?! Wonder how many years of graffiti are there and how many of those couples stayed together.
Love the snow etchings contrasting the tree carvings…I want so very badly to visit NY, I have never been and my roommate seems to visit every 8 weeks! no fair!
Makes me miss NY. We’re freezing down here in Georgia too. So Francisco is the the photographer! Always love your pictures.
