No winter wonderland.
Yet undeniably winter in the woods.
And then – another walker spotted.
But he is not alone.
Then the inevitable happens.

The Danger of Tripping
The very first picture I took in 2022:
It looks dangerous! The drop – which I didn’t photograph because I didn’t want to lose my place in line to have my vax status checked – was less than 50 cm. Or possibly, it was meant for the children playing two metres to the right of the sign:
Contemplating the danger of falling flat on my face with every new endeavour (and the very large possibility of the actual fall being much larger in my mind than in reality) I decided to go back and rather post something symbolic for a fresh start.
Newly fallen snow. The beckoning of a new dawn.
And now I’m really tripping:
Make it a good one!

A Macro, a Portrait, and a Landscape
For the penultimate week of 2021 Dale has asked us to show our best shots of the year. I picked three photos, each from a different genre. Since the challenge is called The Cosmic Photo Challenge I thought that my macro shot should be a cosmos flower:
This portrait was just fun and more of an action shot, really. I liked the original but the sepia-around-the-edges puts the focus more on his face.
Sundown over the Rhine Valley. A dystopian landscape.

Gone Squirrel
There it was, this squirrel sitting in a bird feeder, oblivious to me approaching.
And then it did notice me and it took off in 0 to 100 in no time.
To Be or not Art is the Answer
I came across this “park of sculptures” in summer. It is basically an abandoned plot of land with a variety of sculptures from two or three artists littered around. One of the central pieces carries the words “to be or not art is the answer” (yes, equally scrambled in German). I thought it was exactly right for today’s challenge.
