Snow removal

So on my way home today as I got of the bus downtown I turned down the Fourth Street Promenade which is the old warehouse district. There was a crew of men out removing the snow on the sidewalk. They were doing a great job of building up some rather large piles of snow. Not sure what they were going to do with it from here but I did think that the piles lined up theyway they were made for a nice shot

[Shirley Chetwynd]

It makes a wonderful shot Brian, especially in black and white.

[Kerri]

Oh wow

[Tony]

Great capture Brian the snow makes a wonderful background for B&W shots.

[Laurie Higgins]

Very nice in b&w, Brian! I especially love those glowing headlights and the piles of glorious snow. I love snow!

[Jo Ann Bellone]

and makes me very cold..brr, I am freezing in Fl tonight at 45 degrees

[Cathie]

That's a lot of snow! Great capture!

[John Lynn]

Wouldn't want to sit on that bench though! LOL

[Netkonnexion]

Great scene. Like it. An active scene.

[Darlene]

What a great capture, Brian.

[Ellen Young]

Boy y'all did get a lot of snow! :) great Composition bkb!

[Vicki Dixon]

I love snow...when it is fresh and natural...after a few days...especially in the city...it turns brown and messy...but this looks great still on the bench and all piled up

[Kimberly Balychev]

Hahha now that would be one cold seat!! :) super shot of all the snow!

[Jnadonza]

nice

[Birgit]

Fantastic street shot.

[Claire]

Lovely in B&W

[Gerry]

very nice bw photo our Snow in the uk has practically gone now .

[John]

Ours is almost gone

[David Price]

Nice shot. I agree. Interesting for those of us who don't get to see snow.

[Heidi]

Great eye! I like also how the bench is kind of stuck in it by accident and they just cleared the seat part. Good street image!

[Jane]

Amazing shot and love the black and white ♥

[KWind]

A great b&w winter scene! I wish we had snow! Instead I hear the rain falling.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh dear- it's cold enough here but this shot just makes me go "brrrrrr!" Nice capture!

[Carole Imes]

Great perspective of all the snow piled up along the road. Wow.....makes me shiver. We are only at 50 some degrees currently and I'm all bundled up ;-)

[Cindy Rez]

Awesome in B&W!!!we finally have a little snow but hardly enough to cover the grass!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Brrr. It looks so cold there and you sure did get a lot of snow. Great capture.

[Chris]

A nice record - glad to our snow has just about all gone.

[Terry]

good street shot, everything looks so messy after everyone gets up and spoils the freshly fallen snow.

[Hubregt Visser]

Nice B&W winter shot.

[Margaret Tryon]

Wonderful shot.

[Allison]

it is a great shot... too much snow for my taste!

[Kim]

The repeating piles are interesting.

[Janet Shaffer]

No snow here, but it's really cold.

Nice shot.

[Ian Fisher]

Nice shot - that's an awful lot of snow that needs getting rid of!

[Pyrrhula]

“Definitely winter here too.

[Shirley Banford]

Beautiful shot.

[stephanie dp]

this has such a great candid feel to - great moment in time.

[Beth]

That makes me shiver just looking. Nice black and white. Great composition.

[Katie]

Cool! We live near a giant parking lot where they dump all the city snow during the winter. Amazingly large piles.

[KAL]

Wonderful street capture! Looks so cold! Nice in b&w.

[Bryan Palmer]

Better man than me, going out into the cold. With so much snow, it looks black and white

[bkb in the city]

@bb Thanks Birgit

[bkb in the city]

@claireuk The b/w idea was Melody's

[bkb in the city]

@gerry That must be nice. Ours will be around for another couple of months for sure

[bkb in the city]

@johnnyfrs So I heard

[bkb in the city]

@david68 Glad to share this one with you

[bkb in the city]

@heidit Thanks Heidi

[bkb in the city]

@aromatic Thanks Jane the b/w idea was Melody's

[bkb in the city]

@kwind Hmmm maybe we can switch. I could use a little rain for awhile instead of all of this snow. We got another 10cm today

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Sorry I did not want that to happen I hope you will warm up soon :)

[bkb in the city]

@cimes1 Those Temps would be a heatwave here

[bkb in the city]

@cindyrez Thanks Cindy. The b/w was Melody's idea

[bkb in the city]

@mittens Thanks Marilyn It has been on the cold side the past week or so. It is supposed to warm up this weekend

[bkb in the city]

@gooner46 Unfortunately ours eill be with us for sometime yet

[bkb in the city]

@sarasdadandmom That is so true. I do love when I can get a freshly fallen shot once in awhile

[bkb in the city]

@hjv Thanks Hubregt. It was my wife's idea

[bkb in the city]

@maggie2 Thanks Margaret

[bkb in the city]

@speedy0901 Thanks Allison. I could definitely go for a lot less snow myself at the moment

[bkb in the city]

@kimshots That is what caught my attention

[bkb in the city]

@janets Thanks Janet. Cold here to aong with all of the snow

[bkb in the city]

@if1 It certainly is and with the cold weather we are having it will be here for awhile

[bkb in the city]

@pyrrhula Yes I have noticed that in the shots you have been taking

[bkb in the city]

@sabanford Thanks Shirley

[bkb in the city]

@stepheesue i had to wait for just the right moment to take this shot

[bkb in the city]

@vernabeth Well it has been on the cold side here. The b/w idea was Melody's

[bkb in the city]

@archaeofrog We have piles of huge snow here as well. In fact a couple of years ago we had so much snow that it was still here in August. Check out the shot of our Snow Mountain I posted it on Aug 30 2011

[bkb in the city]

@kathyladley Thanks Kathy. It has been quite cold for awhile and the b/w idea was Melody's

[bkb in the city]

@bigbear Well unfortunately I had no choice to go out as I had to go to work. It is b/w and that idea was my wife's

[Harry J Benson]

good street winter scene

[Ellen E]

I like the perspective here. love how you captured this moment in time.

[Sheralee S]

It looks great in B&W. I guess they just wanted to leave room for people to walk?

[Nada A.]

I like the B&W.

[❀ Lynn]

Nice shot Brian!...at least they were clearing the sidewalks!

[bkb in the city]

@hjbenson Thanks Harry

[bkb in the city]

@ellen Thanks Ellen Glad you liked this one

[bkb in the city]

@bella_ss Well we have a by-law here that requires people to clean their sidewalks 48 hours after it stops snowing

[bkb in the city]

@nadaa That was Melody's idea

[bkb in the city]

@lynnb Well they have to have the sidewalks cleaned within 48 hours of the last snowfall or they can face a fine

[❀ Lynn]

@bkbinthecity I always think that's funny, because the city doesn't have to have their sidewalks or streets done in that time!

[summerfield]

and then we wake up and this is the nightmare! hahaha! more snow for you, more snow for us. snow everywhere!

[bkb in the city]

@lynnb Don't even get me started on that subject

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield It would be nice to wake up to a wonderful dream instead of this nightmare

[Bankmann]

I like this. Nice street shot, even if it's sporting a very narrow view. Nice choice of b&w, too.

[bkb in the city]

@bankmann Well I really was focusing on the sidewalk and the b/w was my wives idea

[PasadenaRose]

Cool shot. It looks great in B&W and gives the impression that it could have been taken decades ago. I love timeless photos.

[bkb in the city]

@pasadenarose Well I have to give credit to my wife for the b/w idea

[PasadenaRose]

Well then, it's obvious that you should always listen to your wife. ;-)

[Wendy Bowden]

Terrific b&w shot

[bkb in the city]

@pasadenarose That is probably a good idea

[bkb in the city]

@wenbow Thanks Wendy
