Odd Shots in the snow

Odd Shots on Monday will be one year old next month. It has been fun selecting something odd from the week before, or from our files when nothing odd arises during the week. And how often does that happen? It would be an odd week indeed when nothing odd shows up, even though we can'talways get a shot of it.

Remember to leave a comment here so we can find your odd shot, and as always, the details are linked at the Odd Shot camera in the sidebar with a blogroll of those who regularly participate.

As shown the other day, we met quite a bit of snow when we visited our kids in Spokane over New Year's. Their house is on an outcropping that is quite a bit above the street, so some of what looks like a wall of snow in the shoveling pictures the other day is snow on top of the huge rock bluff. It was still a lot of snow.

I have posted shots looking down on the street from their window before. It is the window where my grandson observes and reports on buses, fire trucks, and at this time of year, especially the snow plows. Since they have already received a season's worth of snow in the last three weeks, those plows are awfully busy, and what they throw up to the side piles up.

So it seems odd from this vantage point to see this sign, as the snow in that special lane has to be at least three feet deep.

Brrr! What a ride that would be!

Here is my suggestion for a replacement sign.

Oh, I just noticed that, despite being shot in color, the only color in this whole post is the carrot in my snowman's nose. I think that qualifies this as a Monochrome--check out other Monochromes at Monochrome Mania. Thanks Aileni for reintroducing us to the B&W and sepia tradition.
