Ice and snow pretty much covered everything.

I loved how the reeds and grasses were poking up in different places through the ice.

It was pretty desolate out there, and add that emptiness to the nasty air quality we have currently in Utah, and it looked pretty bleak all the way to Timp.

This is a Self Portrait of my shadow and crack in the ice. Yea, hearing the ice crack beneath your feet is a little unsettling.
Gets the blood pumping for sure! Maybe skis or snowshoes next time would be a good idea.

Saw this very cool old abandoned house on my way back home – would be fun to go back there and explore some more.

While visiting the Széchenyi Spa I noticed this gentle man standing to the side, alone, taking in the view.

As I snapped a few photos, I remember our eyes meeting, and I gave him a respectful nod… he simply lowered his eyes and returned to his thoughts.

I wonder what he was thinking… possibly who he was thinking about.

I looked all over – there is snow up the canyon now – and I wasn’t going to head up in my trail running shoes – so – I pulled out my D40 and went and took pictures of the sunrise and some cows instead.

The moral of this story? Get your crap packed up the night before – or when all else fails, take out your camera and shoot.
Now I need to go find my boots!

So I couldn’t sleep the other night, and even though it was raining I decided to head out and play. I walked down Center Street in Provo until I was completely drenched… and then just turned around and on my way back I saw this guy on the other side of the street. I waited until he was in the light of the freeway overpass and then snapped this shot.

I wonder why he was out so late – he didn’t have a camera.
hmm.
