Winter wonderland

8. January 2015

That’s what winter is supposed to look like

This place is close to my home and part of my regular running route. I love to run through the wood any time of the year and watch the seasons change. Through 2015, I will monthly post a set of pictures taken on my running route to share with you the seasonal change. The positive side effect for me is that I will stay fit throughout the year 🙂 Thanks to Cardinal Guzman to start this Monthly Photo Challenge!

I took this pictures today while running through the wood. I love the sound of snow crunching under my feet. Running in such a winter wonderland brings new energy to your empty inner batteries. The perfect energy boost!

Stunningly beautiful winter shots! It must have been quite a blizzard, because the snow is stuck on the side of the trees. Amazing gallery and I’m very glad that you’ve joined my challenge!

Thank you! We had almost spring weather until the end of December, and then winter came with a big bang and loads of snow….

  We had cold temperatures, then snow came just in time for the holidays, but now it’s all melted and it’s mild again. Crazy winter!

  Indeed, I just heard in the radio that we should get up to 20°C tomorrow and next week temperatures are supposed to drop again. Just crazy!

I hope that the snow will stay for some time. In Vienna it is usually melting very fast.

  And does the temperature remain quite cold, or does it warm up quite a bit?

  Yep, I’d like to experience that. But probably on a holiday, not every-day work days 😉

  defrosting the car is the worst part when you are late in the morning… it will be better for holidays, skiing is great in Austria 😉

Wow. I wouldn’t mind all the snow as long as the sun is shining. Here we have endless rain. I tried to start shooting yesterday for Cardinal Challenge but I’m not keen to be out in the rain.
You captured beautiful images and they reflect your happiness with running.
Have a great day!

Thank you! Snow with sunshine is just perfect. The bad side is when it takes you 20 minutes in the morning to get your car somewhat ice and snow free 🙂 You could take some pictures out of your window with the rain drops on it – and next month with sunshine. Playing with the effects of rain and sun on the glass might give some nice shots as well through the seasons.

  Oh yes, that is a price to pay, which I wouldn’t like. I remember when living in Switzerland and feeling miserable every morning I had to go through this process.
  I’m glad that we hardly see snow in Amsterdam. And as I said, we have plenty of rain, always…
  I’m going to make some photos anyways as you suggested. I made some night photos yesterday when I was at the city center for the demonstration in solidarity to the victims in Paris, and I may use some of them. There is a better forecast for the weekend. So, I’ll be shooting again.
  Have a good weekend.

I had to run up the mountain first, so at that time it was a nice break to breathe and cool down 🙂
