Congratulations on your win David. Wonderful take on the theme as the snow piles up into snowbanks that reflect the "golden sun." One year, recently, the mountains close to us had twelve foot snowbanks there was so much snow. And they did sparkle like "crystals" in the sun. A very enchanting picture. Cheers!

You describe perfectly Sam the picture I was trying to paint, I purposely used words relating to what you might find in some safety deposit banks, good job them 12 ft snowbanks stayed on the mountains, probably best observed from a distance, thank you so much for stopping by, cheers David

David, your Haiku is picturesque. I can feel the chilliness in the air. We are getting a load of snow, and the temperature is hitting a record low point.

I was trying to incorporate the snow bank theme into the natural appearance of gold, crystal deposits, and thick walls Lasaad, hopefully Tania spots the connection, not a flake in sight over here but that’s pretty normal, keep warm, cheers David
