Brilliant Sunshine: The Calm that Follows the Storm
When people learn that we came to Montreal from California, they often say what a big, disappointing change it must have been, given the difference in climate. But I've always liked the difference. Not only are winter storms frequently exhilarating, particularly if you're in no hurry to go anywhere, the high pressure systems that follow can be marvelous.
Usually the temperature drops after a storm as a cold front moves in from the north. Today it's not particularly cold for winter, but the sun is out and the light is absolutely fabulous. I've often tried to capture it in a photo, but it seems to be beyond my skill.
This photo, taken two winters ago, gives some idea of the pleasures of sunny winter days, though. Why not take a sunbath, after all?
