white Christmas, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

The song " White Christmas " is undoubtedly the most famous and popular of all the Christmas songs. The music and lyrics for White Christmas were written by Irving Berlin in 1942 and originally featured in the movie Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby. The lyrics of White Christmas struck a chord with the soldiers fighting in the Second World War and their families who were waiting for them back home.

White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

*Merry Christmas! all friends TE and
I wish you and your family happiness and health!

Kalispera Georgios,
Fine light management and ballanced WB on this snowy scenery.
The trees made a partition between sky and snow.
Happy holiday's week.

Greetings Georgios,

I remember the Christmas song, "White Christmas," well. Recently I heard that almost all of the great Christmas songs were composed by Jewish composers (just like Irving Berlin). Your photo and the lyrics are befitting partners here.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Georgios,
I usually see photos of the sunny banks of the Greek coast, this magnificent snowy landscape surprises me. This landscape could be in the Massif of the Mount Aigoual, in Cevennes, in Languedoc-Roussillon, in France. Very beautiful image, and excellent quality. Bravo.
Have a nice day.
Meilleurs Voeux de Bonne Année 2012!
Cordially

I’m dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

And I’m dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white

And have a merry christmas
And have a merry christmas, too

I’m dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases
All your christmases
All your christmases be white

And have a merry christmas!..........

All the best and a Happy and Healthy New Year 2012,
Filipe
