One of my favorite new things is wandering around an urban setting that is buried in snow at night, taking in the beauty and shooting bad photos. There is something really unique about a metropolis that is completely covered in snow. The silence is somehow freeing (how can it be so quiet with so many people?), few drivers dare brave the roads, and instead people take over the streets since the sidewalks are a disaster of ice and deep snow. The lighting is surreal - I'm still not used to how lit up cities are at night, and the snow reflects the light and gives everything a warm but eerie glow. I think I could stay up all night, meandering down un-plowed side streets of Center City and South Philly, absorbing all the snowy wonders, but alas, I must get some shut eye.
