We walked through about 5" of fresh powder to pick up Jack from preschool today. The sled, however charmingly Rosebud-esque, is purely functional. Stroller companies should consider offering a snow plow attachment, like a sun shade, rain guard or mosquito netting, to folks living in more than a foot of snowfall per season. Otherwise, this is a pretty efficient way to travel on days like this.

Color-wise, the tans and browns in the brick offered a nice contrast to the sled's blond wood, cherry red seat, and golden rope. Of course, all of that was lost when I switched it to black and white, but I immediately saw three opposing, striking textures. Additionally, the horizontal and vertical lines became obvious, and played well with the airy, sweeping curve of snow against the building. I added some shadows and called it a day.
