Greetins, From Ian's photos: ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Just the colors I imagined. It must seem like heaven.
It's pretty here tonight too. I went for a little walk about 45 minutes ago. It probably started snowing an hour ago. The snow crystals are of the sort that when the light hit the snow it looked like a net of jewels. I've never been to a place that wasn't beautiful. Even the lava fields on Lanzarote (Canary Island) can produce immense beauty.
