It's Still Winter in Here

For the longest time now, I haven't taken a proper photo walk, just haven't been feeling it and the weather has been very tricky. Most of the snow melted at the end of March and early days of April, but it started snowing again for a few days, giving us about 20 centimetres within two days, so the winter is back. Today I finally felt like there would be something worth taking the camera out for, as the skies cleared up a bit, and there was new pure white snow in the ground.

I haven't quite gotten used to the fact that it's still so light outside in the evenings, I only left around 7pm to my photo walk and got back around 8.30, when the sun was just going below the horizon. I took a walk along the little river that runs through the city, it's one of my favourite nature destinations right here in the city center. There is a small path to walk along, though quite snowy and slippery, with really wet ground around, so one has to be careful, especially with an expensive camera, wouldn't wanna slip and drop it in the mud.

In the summertime this path is a popular jogging and dog walking route, but today I only came by one other person. There were tracks that at least a few people and couple dogs had walked their earlier today. It was very peaceful, mostly just me, my camera, and a few birds. The long winter with heavy snow and winds have made many trees fall over, or hang their branches over the track. There were a few spots were I had to almost crawl in the ground to get through the snow covered branches, which made me feel like a kid exploring the forest. Hope you enjoy the fruits of my cold expedition, from the comfort of your own home.
