There are a number of reasons why nostalgia combines with snow in my mind. It always looks so clean and pristine when it is first fallen and gives even old buildings a new and shiny coat.
I always want to capture it very quickly because it lasts so seldom in our area. I often think if I don’t take a picture of it today it will be gone tomorrow.
A curious look – but what’s the connection to my past and my future?
This valley in the Odenwald has been a favourite spot for family outings for almost 150 years. The deer come to the fences to be fed, then and now.
The young deer at the top might very well be the grandgrandgrandgrand… son of the deer my granddad was feeding in the photo on the left, taken in around 1962. The photo on the right is of our son and grandson standing in more or less the same location earlier this year. I haven’t been to that place in the intervening 60 years.
Friendly Friday: Look back to the future

A vision of tomorrow, through the eyes of yesterday
A boy – the promise of the future – in a building which his great great grandfather helped to build in the past.
My grandfather was a young tradesman, a tinsmith, some 100 years ago when this castle was built and carried out some work on the construction. Now my grandson was playing amongst its walls and columns.
