january delivered with some much needed snow. what is winter without it? right, it's dark, cold and depressing. only with a bit of snow, especially freshly fallen, it is bearable. isn't it immediately more heart-warming when the forests look like they're powdered with sugar or like it is under some heavy whipped cream? yes, i say!
on this walk i chose the woods around naurod - a suburb of wiesbaden which is situated on the hillside of the taunus mountains.
dismantled wood.
footsteps of a certain canine.
almost hidden.
snow lines.
shredded tree.
this tree seemed to have suffered a lightning stroke, or could there be another explanation for this? my imagination and also my guts tell me that this can only be the product of a powerful lightning.
hide inbetween trees.
on another day i simply wanted to get out of the city and into the mountains, hoping that there'd still be some snow on the ground after it had snowed the night before ( in wiesbaden it was already melting away ). and i got lucky! i stopped near kiedrich in hausen vor der höhe, because i couldn't bear the sight anymore from inside my car. everything looked extraordinarily surreal! i loved it.
snow man idyll.
the structure and sight of trees covered in snow is so incredibly pleasing. contrasts!
walking under a snowt tree tunnel.
teeny tiny bud.
me looking dumb in the snow :)
the snow was covering everything in a very thick layer.
triangles.
hausen vor der höhe - a small district of schlangenbad.
sugar-coated.
played around with the miniature mode.
rose hips with hats.
relicts of a former easter celebration.
tree stumps that are concaved are the best trees.
returning through the snow tunnels of the wood.
i visited the fasanerie for a short visit after my walk in the woods.
one last picture of blissful whiteness.
