Yesterday I drove to the forest and got surprised! :)
I think it comes from my childhood, when the winters were really cold with a lot of snow, and snowdrifts when the feet were drowning in white stuff, when we were making snowmen, sledding down the hill, and ice-skating on the frozen lake
There is this Abbey - Kloster Reutberg - in this area. As many abbeys here in Bavaria, they make their own beer, and have a restaurant. Thats where we ended up at the end of the fairy walk. My backside was totally frozen, as it had not expected such cold weather, and the walk happened to be longer than planned, as we almost got lost (as the paths are not recognizable in the snow). Anyways, dinner in this abbey restaurant was like a cherry on the pie! the room had an old stove, and heated benches going on around the room. This is like a heaven on the cold day! heaven for my backside anyways :) and the food and locally brewered beer were also pretty good.
It is cold in Munich these days, as cold as -10 degrees at night! It has also snowed a bit, but last weekend it was dry and grey, and sort of yellow-brownish-old-greenish on the ground and on some trees. Not a single drop of white.
Driving 30 minutes down to the South of Munich changed the landscape completely, showing one field in green, and the next field next to it in white! this is amazing, and this is how the seasons meet - autumn and winter!
This shot below shows it at its best! no photoshop, no filters. Still green grass, and yellow leaves of the tree, that was somehow missed by snow cloud. And then these fur-trees covered in white! This is something that makes you say "Wow"
Further down to the forest, it became whiter and whiter. This is where I really get excited as a child waiting for Christmas presents :) I love snow. I love the fresh frosty air. And I love the sight of the fur-trees branches covered with snow! This is like a fairy-tale for me.
I hope that this winter will bring us one big surprise. A lot of snow!
