Description We get chinooks where I live, and they are VERY nice to get in the middle of winter (except that they are really windy).

I grew up thinking "chinook" translated to "snoweater" until I recently discovered it didn't. Despite that, I like to imagine there is a spiritual being that comes and "eats" the snow in the middle of winter.

Enjoy!

I am blown away, my brain has shattered to a million pieces.
How did you do this? ;o; You said you use Photoshop? Just wow! This is extraordinary! And I like the concept, the fur, it looks so realistic and soft, as if I can just touch it! Keep up the good work! ;U; You're so talented!

Where do you live? I used to live in Lethbridge, and one reason I left is because of the chinooks and endless winds that torment that boring pit.

Pretty picture by the way. I like the lighting!

Haha, I live north of Lethbridge, but I know what you mean by endless winds there. Whenever I visit that place I always wear my hair in a ponytail.

Thank you.

What does it translate into? I never even knew what it meant...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Foxleopard In reply to F0XBLAZE [2011-07-05 04:34:11 +0000 UTC]

It was a native word that refers to a type of warm wind that comes during the winter and melts away a lot of the snow in the praries next to the mountains.
