Snowdriftmania-2026-3

By @evildeathcore3/20/2026hive-119845

This is the last post with snowdrifts this year. Well, unless it just piles up somewhere in April like in Kamchatka...I'll keep bothering you with puddles! But I have to keep this walk in memory.

I'm actively looking for spotting here...but it's too early for them, although I really want to.

In cloudy weather in winter, spotting is the most difficult to find. White snow covers up all the details, but it doesn't create any details.

When the snow begins to melt and becomes covered with mud, then spotting appears.

Well, the sun multiplies all the details five times because of the contrast between shadows and lights.

We need volume to make it flat later!

This day was a harbinger of warming.

It is no longer frosty, but the first small puddles appear on the ground.

And the sky, though cloudy, is dark, as if before the rain.

All this gave the scenes a bluish tinge.

I don't know if there would have been sunshine with such huge snow piles, it would have been better or not.

So I found the disadvantage of all snowdrifts - they were shot in cloudy weather.

And when the light is diffused, the volume cannot be conveyed in any way.

But it's not my fault that it snowed all days, or when the sun was shining, I was distracted by frost or something else.

Still, I'm more than relieved for a well-spent winter.

I'll show you more! snowy places, but I will consider this post to be the last with a winter atmosphere.

It's still kind of February, even though it's been March for a long time.

I will thank winter once again for everything and welcome spring.

I'm not going to make up my mind about what I want next winter... I'll do it closer to the season, having lived through spring, summer and autumn..
