Snowfall

As I was leaving Marty's tonight (Marty's is a coffee shop on campus), I was about to head back to my dorm, but I decided that I would instead walk up to the balcony of the union and watch the snow fall. Here's a picture I took from said balcony a while ago to give you an idea of my perspective.

I think that being outside in the middle of snow falling is perhaps one of the most beatiful and peaceful things one can experience. It's a combination of the white purity of the snow itself, the near-silence that is created, and the flakes' dancing descent to the earth. I'm not so keen on the days immediately following a snowfall when the snow turns dirty and such, but standing amidst a soft winter snowfall is something I could do for a long time.
