Pensacola -- Destin: White Sand ( Jan 31 )
          Traveling for business to Pensacola FL on Saturday Jan 29 morning I lost two days in Atlanta since the airport closed because of severe icy storm. All flights were cancelled and I involuntary had to spend two days in Atlanta. Having nothing to do for two days I was making pictures of frozen Atlanta, the city and the vicinity, which looked so white because of ice and snow. Actually, the impression was comparable with my winter trip to Siberia only... ( Saying nothing of my lost but later fortunately found baggage... )
          When I got to my destination Pensacola it was already Sunday Jan 30 night; and that city looked also very white but because of sand, not because of frost...

Atlanta: Frozen Nature; Jan 29-30
Everything is covered with thick layer of ice...
Some branches became so heavy because of ice that they broke off with a loud crack and fell down breaking other branches creating an icy symphony...


Atlanta: Frozen Hotel; Jan 29-30
Everything is covered with thick layer of ice...


Atlanta: Frozen Downtown; Jan 30
Everything is covered with thick layer of ice...
Note those weird icy rings on the pavement...


Pensacola -- Destin: White Sand; Jan 31
Here not ice but the sand covers everything around coloring the landscape in white...
All the beaches in Pensacola were closed because of construction works...
