Simone, please follow instructions : max. 1 image per day.

Better you select which one to keep than admins deleting at random.

My apologies, I was under the impression that NG supporters were allowed more than one per day.
Please confirm one way or the other?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

No, you NG Supporters are allowed up to 30 per month, max. 1 per day. Non-supporters have only a quota of 4.

OK, I misread.
I'll amend my post.
Although looking back I am not the only one who misunderstood the rules. Anyway, not a big deal.

Bill Mellem: you also need to cut down on the multiple images in your post. Same reason as for Simone.

A rare snowstorm in Virginia Beach was a delight for many...

I love it that we see them all from behind, it creates a feeling of being part of the group, walking with them

A glorious sunny day for my first foray out this year, on the 2nd.
Frost and just a sprinkle of snow, almost a late autumnal feel.

Are you in England or Italy currently? From the tree form it could be both, the mountain form speaks more for England

The photo is from the Lake District in northern England.
I'll be paying a short visit to Italy soon but I don't expect to be doing much photography.

.city hall winter sun.

17 01 02017

Bonn city hall is an IMO ugly building from the 1970ies. It had some decorative elements that have been torn down due to instability. The operating costs are over the top by any standards and some people think the savings of a new building alone would justify to tear the old building down and put a new construction in place. But I believe this is pure fiction. As far as I know public building projects in Germany and especially in Bonn tend to cost next to nothing when the parliament originally starts them and in the end exceed the original costs by a factor between 3 and 20. Last big one in my home town was the United Nations Convention Center. In the beginning the cost was estimated as ZERO, currently we have a bill of more than 300 Million Euros to fit.

(German Wikipedia Entry: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Conference_Center_Bonn )

So this morning before 9 am the sun spread his still warm orange rising winter light over the building which made for a nice study in geometric possibilities.
