Thanks B. :)

It does look cool. What is a cinder block? Must be another cold weather thingy.

It is not actual a cinder block, it is a decorative concrete piece designed to stand up and be mortared to others to create a vertical wall with the design. A cinder block is a block in various sizes usually used to build foundations and are made out of concrete. Usually cinder blocks around about 8wx10Lx8H but can be bought in various sizes. They are also commonly used to build the exterior and interior walls in large buildings such as factories. Thats your lesson for today in Cold Climate building, and a lot more goes into it but all ya need to know.

Thanks for the correction AL.... :)

Well spotted Casil. The pattern, contrast and texture of the snow make this an interesting image.

I would have left it just thought the MA needed a lesson about construction, lol. And very nice capture I should have also mentioned.

Thanks AL ... I work with wood mostly :)
I'd heard of a cinder block but couldn't recall what they were and the photo sure didn't look like a 'block' at all.

Very cool Casil. I love the texture in the snow as well as the overall effect.
