How could one possibly leave out Bedford Falls…Christmas Eve, 1946. The best snow…the loveliest snow…the most meaningful snow ever captured on film? That’s easy: It’s A Wonderful Life. 1946.
Excellent thought. It’s a Wonderful Life. Reminds me of the first snowfall I experienced in the Giant Sequoia Forest. Incredibly quiet, an almost indescribable sense of lightness all around. Thanks for the memory.
