The weather yesterday was gorgeous - clear and cold... you could downright believe it was winter. So I took my camera with me when I went rollerblading. I sometimes forget how pretty the Westphalian countryside can be:












(Taking the camere turned out to be a great idea, taking the rollerblades not so much... rollerblading in sub-zero temperatures leeches the warmth out of you like whoa. I was out there for just two and a half hours, but after I got back I just couldn't get warm again in spite of several cups of hot miso soup and hot showers. So basically for the rest of the day I sat snuggled to the heater, read fanfic, and watched tv. Not a productive day. But the tour itself was great.)

This was just posted to sga_art_santa: And I Have Known

Really, really good. One of my favorite pieces of SGA fanart. I'm curious who did this... don't recognize the style. Anyway, all the stuff at Art Santa is really worth checking out. I wish I could've signed up for that exchange... at signup time I still thought I'd have this stupid deadline which now got postponed into June. wah.

Oh, these are beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing.

I really do want to visit Germany someday. Even though my German has completely atrophied.

Beautiful

Nice photos Astrid. They would be great material to do some watercolor paintings form. Is the water frozen?

What beautiful pix! well framed, well captured! the bits of ice reflecting the light of a far distant star...

It's amazing to me that earth has such similarities even thousands of miles apart... that which would make a traveler far from the planet long to see again...

Fantastic photos - though I must admit it feels strange to see and hear about such coldness when I'm sweltering in a t-shirt with my feet in cold water. Wanna swap? :)

Nice ones. I can see that you some of the same fondness, of shooting against the light, in near light dusk. What camera do you use?. I have a point and click camera, but I do really like to go on photo-walks, and my camera is not really good landscapes i low lights.

Oh, wonderful sunset light.

Those are much more beautiful than what we had here this week. I am fascinated by the frosted trees, but we weren't lucky enough to get sunshine at any time. *sniff* ;)

just two and a half hours

'JUST' two and a half hours? Meep. I was already frozen through after half an hour of pushing the stroller every day. ;)
