Winter windows

Once upon a time when we still had winters and we still lived directly under the roof we would wake up one morning and we almost couldn’t see the sky anymore.

Outside it looked like this:

Sob, heavy world 
Sob as you spin, 
Mantled in mist 
Remote from the happy.

Nancy is asking: “Have you ever walked pass an opening in a wall or barrier and suddenly an amazing view opened up?” for A Photo a Week.   I woke up to unexpectedly closed windows in our garret flat some years ago.  But we persevered and we managed to free them partly from ice and snow and were greeted with this:

42 weather (640x480)

January was far too mild but the last couple of weeks we had a little snow and since then we had a few wonderful crispy, cold, sunny days – although the snow is all but gone.

First the road, leading up into the hills.

Light and shadow playing on the surface.

A path branching off.

Walking amongst the trees.

006 juhöh 5 (640x480)

Snow crackling under the feet.

The path circling a hill.

And leading back to the road and the parking.

For the Thursday’s Special, Paula wrote: “I would like you to post again what you consider to be your best shot posted this year.”  So I looked through all my photos and rediscovered some shots.  That’s what I came up with tonight, if I were to look again tomorrow it might be a different one.
