Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #153 'Cold evenings'

The name of this art photograph is: 'Cold evenings'

Today we have almost a documentary photograph but not so entirely. This is one of the ways people in my city like to spend their winter evenings. A seasonal skate ring was build in the centre of the city. It is surrounded by small stands where one can have a refreshment and relax. Mulled wine is very popular in winter. Don't know if you like it but it does warm one up during the cold evenings.

I love the very saturated blue dominating the bottom two thirds. It is complemented with a smaller area of warm colours in the top third. I also find very interesting those three areas of blue amidst the warm colours and the bright areas in the blue. The most interesting element is a girl in the bottom right corner whose shadow appears like as if she is holding hands with the guy. But, what I love the most about it is all those happy people enjoying their time in cold weather. This photograph is a testament to that.

Let me use this opportunity and tell you what happened to me today. My friend @greenrun told me how cold it is in the "coldest part of Nigeria" called Plateau State, right now. That made me interested because I thought that part of Africa is always warm. He explained that 25C (77F) is really cold for them. I almost fell off my chair with laughter. I told him that I was considering myself really lucky with the warm weather when riding my motorcycle at 5C (41F), yesterday. He probably considered me mad but was too kind to point it out. :D

Then he told me of his brother visiting Florida in March and walking around dressed up in a warm winter jacket. He couldn't understand 'girls wearing skimpy things and looking cool in such adverse weather conditions'. (Avg temperature in Florida in March is 20C (71F) :D ) Apparently, he took a walk, what made him feel even colder. I was like... Haa? We are already wearing shorts when temperatures reach 22C (72F) in Croatia. I think people in Finland wear their shorts at 12C or 15C already. :)

Apparently, his brother cut his vacation two weeks shorter because of the cold weather in Florida. That made me fall out of my chair. :D A little true story from both of us on Christmas Eve.

Enjoy the cold weather just as you enjoy the warm, every season is a gift!
