We’ve had recent winters with no snow and other times we’ve had big snow. But the town of Ocean Grove looks especially beautiful right after the snow falls. Somebody recently said that they have never seen a photograph of the Great Auditorium in the snow, but they do exist.
This view shows the “tents” in their winter garb: no canvas, just the wood framing of those structures.
Most photos of the tents are taken in season, but these little buildings have a special look in the winter. I love the multiple colors that they are dressed in. You can see how a “tent” might be converted to a cottage, which is how many of the Grove’s small houses began.
SOUNDTRACK: Here are our Canadian friends again—the Canadian Brass whom we have heard perform live many times. This piece is lovely and is called: “Sweet Songs of Christmas.”
