Snowy nights

The winter of 1966-67 found my family in Mahtomedi, Minnesota - an outer suburb of St. Paul.    I was intrigued with the beauty of snow at night.  Several nights I carried my camera, set on a tripod, along nearby streets and took time exposures as it snowed.

This is my favorite snowy night picture - this the first snow of the winter.   My family lived in a double bungalow at the bottom of this street, Juniper Street, on the right side.   The cross street at the bottom of the hill goes around the eastern side of White Bear Lake.

This is the bottom of Juniper Street with our apartment on the right a few months later - December or January I'd guess.    This was an awfully snowy winter.  And because dad had found a new job in Ohio,  he was gone and  I shoveled all the snow.  I was the only one of us big enough to throw the snow over the mound along the driveway.
