Photo Contest - You're So Cold, You're So Cold (8/9-8/15)

Click For Summary
The current photo contest invites participants to submit images that evoke a sense of coldness, either through the subject matter or the feelings they inspire. The contest is open to any digital or scanned photos that fit the theme, with specific rules regarding size, editing, and originality. Each member can submit only one photo, and all submissions must be their own work. Participants are encouraged to think creatively, as the theme does not strictly require winter scenes. Discussions within the thread include members sharing their photo ideas, debating the coldness of their images, and providing feedback on each other's submissions. The contest will culminate in a poll where members can vote for their favorite photo. There is an emphasis on the subjective nature of what makes a photo feel "cold," leading to humorous exchanges about the interpretations of cold imagery.

Here's one from my prior life. ( Note the lack of children in it). This is 16,000 ft up the West Buttress of Denali (That's Mount McKinley to some of you). This is a crevasse at a place called "windy corner." This is a photo of a Cibachrome print, so some of the texture of the glacier ice is lost. Oh to be that cold again (The next morning was 40 below zero, I can't remember if that was Celcius of Faranheit).

Edit: Oh, forgot the picture!

Awesome pic Chi Meson, that looks just amazing! Oh and I could be wrong but I believe 40 below is the same in both celsius and farenheight.

Yes, that was the joke.

I just noticed you can see a little bit of our floor at the lower left corner of the shot. Try to ignore it.

The Matterhorn as seen from Gornergrat Station

No Zapper, the real one. :biggrin:

Atop the mountain at Gornergrat (3,089 m), which is about as close to the middle of nowhere as one can get, there is an observatory, and a restaurant [really just a snack and coffee shop I guess] for those who take the gear driven train up the mountain from Zermatt. In the restaurant, we were helped by a girl who grew up about forty miles from us here in Oregon. She married Swiss and now lives at the top of the Alps.

You mean this one has no rollercoaster winding in and out of it?

How boring!

Why is there a floor in the snow on that mountain? :rolleyes:

He took a snapshot of a photo he printed. Easier than scanning it.

Brr!

Thanks, Chi!

It was hard to pick one for this round. Most anything in my lab is associated with pretty low temperatures - 77K is actually the hottest cryogenic temperature commonly seen in the lab - but I figured it would take a very selective audience to "feel cold" when looking at a He-3 cryostat.

<waiting for Zz's pic of scary Disney ride>

Just a reminder that you have less than 2 days left to submit a picture for this contest. Brrrr...
