Ah, I was led astray too!....8-))
Nevertheless thanks for the inspiration....I mean: has any of us ever 
tried a moon lit landscape?

You'll be amazed!

Hunt for the snow clogged trees instead of foliage. In case of
skiing, it might mean taking your camera with you for several days
in vain; but once the snow storm is over, have your camera ready and 
be prepared to shoot all your HIE on that one day....the best scenery 
only lasts a single morning!
You gotta love lousy wheather with these rewards of Mother Nature!
Snow, freezing rain, fog, they all add to the stunning scenery.
