Lilly : I worry about the car starting on cold days like this.
Ronnie : Yup, even my daffodils are held back in the Arctic conditions here.
Lilly : Arctic ? Arctic ?? Is that what they tell you ?

Another seamingless composition, great job and it really looks like the Arctic, I would like to go into that cold, to much uses to the tropics after 5 years :) I guess there will be many bears on the road now?

Oh wow! Brilliant work here on both of your parts! I'm looking hard to see where the change takes place and I just cannot see it. The seasons flow together wonderfully as they do in the 'real' world. Fantastic!

@bluechameleon: :
Thanks for the appreciation ! Both these shots were taken yesterday our usual 4,000 miles apart !

Well done. Love the attention to detail - power lines continuing across the split. It looks like you have a direct power or phone connection acroos the Atlantic!

I LOVE IT! I would move across the street. In this scene it is not a fantasy because it looks so realistic. When the image first opened I thought this is your best, but I keep saying that so I will say ALL of your image masterpieces are THE BEST!

Wow, that's done well. *noddingheavily*

This is so cool and so accurate, you even matched the shadows and sky colour! Amazing!

The car will be fine if you just move it to the other side of the street where it is still warm.
I love this. You did such a great job with it. Very clever.
It has been miserable cold here the past 2 winters, this one worse than the last...My heating bills are killing me even though the cost of the fuel is much lower than last year, and we even installed an ultra high efficiency, boiler over the summer which was supposed to save us a LOT on fuel...Grrrrrrrr and Brrrrrrrrrrrr!

this is soooo coool! :) your stuff makes me smile and keeps me looking for signs of the post-processing, which is so wonderfully subtle!

Great assemblage... Wish i could go from the cold side of the street to the warmer side! It is freezing here!

On the left, how it used to be. On the right the effect of global warm-up.

Great shot. It's cold here too (although not as cold as others, but after a while cold is cold :P )
And the meetings...well, they'll be ending soon... hehehe

As always you two make me smile - but wow, this is just fabulous - so much attention to detail with the shadows and sky etc, I love it!

:-) It's all relative... I cheer myself up that Boston at 15F/-10C is better than the -40(C and F) my friends in Minnesota must endure!
nice winter shots - I really like the light on both sides and the smooth transition of the road and shadows. masterful work!

Different parts of the world and temperatures... The blending is really good, even the electric pole lines are crossing from left to right.

Yeah... people always expect England to be the coldest place on earth. Where did that reputation come from?!

The weather said... local snow showers, but this is ridiculous..! Great work again you two, I must say I had to think about this one... those phone wires continuing across the street.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Amazing how the weather differs from one side of the street to the other. Heh. Sometimes here in FL it will rain across the road from me, and not a drop on my side. That's really scattered showers. Great split scene, R&L.

Shuva Brata Deb from Hyderabad, India
What would I do if this was real? Drink chilled Heineken beer on one side and enjoy Laphroaig whisky near the fireplace on the other side. Life would be double treat.

Tamara from Fort Myers, FL, United States
This came out perfect, I think it is one of my faves from you two! It's practically seamless! The two very different climates seem to be right next door. It blends very well. :)

Great shots... though of course the snowy side looks a little Arctic to me...

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Wow, the merging of scenes is magnificently accomplished. I wonder if it will ever snow again properly on our side of the Atlantic.

Love the parallels, a stunning image of the frosted and defrosted, I love the tire mark that runs between, beautifully done!

Funny. Somewhat schizo...Are you sure there are two of you??

@Jeffster: (from Lilly)
I know I'm sure!! I report below freezing temps to him, and he complains of 43 degrees over there!
Lunamania from Oakland, United States
I just found your site and want to say it's amazing--don't know how you keep generating such creative ideas and the processing is incredible. Will definitely be back regularly. Thanks for sharing.

I hate it when my daffodils don't start in the cold.
Another fantastic combination.

:0) Love the banter! I wish we looked more like Lilly's side, but all we have had is no-fun ice! I want to go sledding, darn it!
