Everybody who knows me knows that I’m a sucker for a good snowfall. Needless to say that I was out with the camera today in what was my first opportunity this winter to photograph in the falling snow. Had to enjoy it while it lasts because the temperatures are already creeping up to zero and it will probably start raining soon, most of the snow will be gone by tomorrow evening. So it’s back to bird photography, then…
I’ve never visited my favourite tarn in the winter, so I remedied that today. I was almost sure that the little brook would not be frozen over yet despite the cold weather this week, and I do like the contrast between open water and snow. I can’t claim that the landscape was particularly stunning, but in my eyes it was beautiful. Just to see how the snow is starting to cover the detail, it creates such pleasingly simple sceneries that I can hardly wait until winter starts for real. We’ve had a few of these false starts already, getting closer to the time when the snow should stay on the ground!
