The great thing living near the Black Forest is having snow all winter -- if you choose to. In the plains there are usually only a few days with snow. Even though I love winter (and snow in general) and already have been busy photographing the winterly looking Black Forest this week, I want to share one photo from my archives with you. Usually after taking photos I quickly rate them: One star means pretty good (with the potential for publication here at Flickr), two stars is stellar -- and no star means never to be looked at again. ;-)

While browsing through my archives some time ago, I noticed that this photo got zero stars from me. Maybe I dismissed it initially because I very quickly composed this shot (which I saw from the street while driving to another location) or because I had already photographed quite a lot of winterly scenes last season (it is from March), but now I have grown to like it a lot. For me it embodies the perfect winter day: Everything is clad in white and the sun is shining from a deep blue and cold sky. I'm already looking forward to more of these days this winter season... And if it's too could outside, I will definitely be looking at my archives again. ;-)

klasse landschaft! bei solchen bildern muss ich erst immer genau hinsehen, nicht dass ich mich dann neidisch zu dem schnee äüßere und es sich dann eigentich nur um infrarot fotografie handelt :P

sehr schön auf jeden fall!

sehr schöne winterstimmung, klasse eingefangen. auch der hintergrund gibt auch einen schönen kontrast, allerdings ist der obere rand mir etwas zu dunkel. wäre mir ohne vignettierung (auch wenn sie hier nur ganz leicht ist) viel lieber, aber das ist wie immer geschmackssache.

Its gorgeous, perfectly composed and wonderful and crisp looking. We're lucky to get any snow, its just cold and wet most of the winter, very boring. I'll look forward to more of your winter shots.

Ich hab' doch eben gerade deine Winterschauinslandbäume bewindert, äääh bewundert.... un' nun isses schon wieder so weit.
So weit, so gut. Jedenfalls schön fotografiert, dezent das Blau manipuliert. Und im Hintergrund leuchtet der Feldberg mit Macht.
Gut gemacht!
