Wednesday’s Photos
Of Snow Sculptures and Winter Landscapes
During the last two weeks, I may have created the false impression that I did not like winter with my nostalgic look back to summer and fall. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Every season has its beauty. I pulled photos out of my archives because I had to take care of my wife and make sure that her broken leg was healing properly. There was just no time to go out and take pictures for both of us. Today and the day before, Biene and I drove down to the lake. My wife could not leave the car but took photos through the open window. I wandered around the parking lot to look for some worthwhile themes. The highways crew had piled up the snow such that the resulting sculptures displayed interesting shapes. Here they are. Enjoy!

Peter, you have quite the eye for beauty in the snow piles. The first one is my favorite. I will have to take a look around my area and look for the beauty because we have many tall snow berms. Blessings of quick healing to Biene’s leg. Have a great day!

I like real snow that does not get mushy after 5 minutes. The photos are beautiful, Peter.

That’s lovely composition in the first photo; I think it’s my favorite. On the other hand, do you see the bear poking its nose above the snow piles in the third? (It’s to the right of the middle of the photo, facing right.)

Snow and ice, when observed with a vivid imagination, can be a great source of phantoms, otherworldly creatures, fairies, etc., etc.

We had our first walk at the beach since Biene’s accident. She was walking without an air-cast on. Pretty soon, she will be dancing again.

That’s great news, Peter! I have broken my leg/ankle three times, and I know it’s no fun. Wishing her continued recovery!

Now you can engage in Glühwein drinking; in the summer you’ll have Glühwurm watching.
