The Beauty of Snow and Fog

Today on my way to dance I was struck by how beautiful the world around me was.

We got a fresh coat of snow (about an inch) this afternoon, which stuck to the snow still on the ground, but thankfully not the roads, giving the landscape a "white canvas" sort of feel. Adding to this was a patchy layer of fog, slightly off the ground, thinner in some places, denser in others.

It was about 6:15 in the afternoon and the sun was setting in the west, filling the partly cloudy sky with pinks, reds, and golds.

But the sky wasn't the only thing turning colors.

The blank canvas of snow and fog soaked up the sunset's hues, tinging the world around me with a thousand shades of pink. It was a truly beautiful scene.
