Cassel Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Here is the next Word challenge for you. In November the word will be COLD. Whether you have an actual winter season or not (depending on where you live) this time of year might be when the weather gets a little colder (of course, if you are in the southern hemisphere, you are 6 months ahead of the cold!). What can you showcase using the word COLD? Are you up to the challenge? Post your project in the gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) I have to admit, it isn't difficult to create a page containing the word COLD. Here on the Prairies the winters are brutal. There isn't a happy medium between Summer and Winter. It's either plus 35c or minus 35c. The Main top photo was taken on the 18th January of this year. The wind chill was -50c, with wind blowing at 75km. I was going shopping when I took the shot of the blowing snow. The other photos were taken in Jan and Feb of 2021. Embossed metallic element. For the round tag, I used one of Carole's special fonts for the outer decoration, wove the gold under and over for a different effect. Word art sticker I created for a previous page. Used Carole's free stacked wooden alfa again. Edited November 19, 2023 by Sue Thomas 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue, the coldest I experimented with was minus 20°C without wind ... This was a long time ago, as winters are not what they used to be. But the wind chill of -50c... OMG 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't anything natural to curb it. The cold itself is tolerable, with adequate clothing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used Carole's free stacked wooden alfa again. Already many, many years ago when I was in the Swiss Alps, it was - 20c but when we were at or near the summit of a mountain (by cable car) there was a very strong wind blowing too. There were warnings in place that the wind chill would be -40c and everyone was advised to take shelter in the restaurant and not linger outside! It was a clear day and the views were amazing, but at that point I hadn't a camera with me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how cold it must have been, with clear blue skies and sun's rays radiating above, it's an invitation to go outside. The radio sends out wind chill warnings, and extreme cold warnings, stating how long it can take before frost bite sets in. Usually within a minute or so. I frequently sit out with the horses, out of the wind and in the sun. Their coats are toasty warm to the touch. Quite often I will have to open a coat, as there is still a fair amount of heat in the sun, eeven in the dead of winter. At least I get a small dose of vitamin D on my hands face. Our sky is almost always a clear Caribbean blue year round. Unlike Wales, which has an endless cloud ceiling. Which I'm looking forward too in a funny sort of way. I think to much time in one ambience, makes me long for something new. In a way the blank sunny skies has deprived me of the visual diversity that I may crave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'am forgiven. I'm no that well at the moment. I'v got the NORO-virus. But that is not the reason, I did not read well apparently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Seeber Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 My offering for the Cold challenge. Warwick Drive-In snowed in in 2017. I used the cass-framed-mask3, my photo and the embellishments and background paper from my Iceland mega kit. It has really come in handy for anything wintery. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile concentrate on getting better. We will look forward to seeing what you create. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne Lamp Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The background pick if from Creative Fabrica. The frosty window is from a photo I took a few years ago. I also used the luminance on the top layer. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Magerka Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Here's what I came up with for COLD. A pic I took last winter or one before of a squirrel waiting for food. I can't help it; I feel sorry for them in bad weather and do the handouts for them and the birds year round. Costs a lot more than it used to! The background is a paper from somewhere, vector frames with bevel. (Might have used the photo here before?) 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
