"Snow Day!"
What do you do on a Monday when you wake up to a foot of fresh snow?
Dats right.....
Walked right into the bathroom, looked into the mirror and said, "Boss, I'm not coming in today!"
It's not sailing, but heck it was a blast up on the hill today; all alone with about 3 feet of fresh powder!

Sorry for the quality, phone camera:

High Dynamic Range?

Correct - in a nutshell you take several images of the same scene with different exposure settings, and blend them in software to get a wider perceived range of darks and lights.
