    Wunderbar! Nein, so einen schönen Schnee hatten wir in diesem Winter noch nicht! Aber ein wenig Schnee gab es bis Freitag in der Eifel und im Venn! Aber dann hat der Regen alles weggewaschen!
    Prachtvoll ist dein Bild mit dem Schnee und diesem blauen Himmel!
    Salut Brigitte

    You're right, Mark, a pleasure for the eyes.
    An impression like from a fairy tale book in which there are no nasty stories.
    Great picture!!

    so majestic these tall spruce trees... special with
    their snow laden branches .... Nature always
    outdoes the man-made decorations we use
    at Christmas !!!

    Ein herrliches Motiv - diese Tannen mit dem reichlichen Schnee sind einfach wunderbar dekorativ! Und das Licht und der Himmel dazu - großartig! - In meiner Jugend waren solche winterliche Tannen häufig ein Motiv für Weihnachtskarten...

    LG! a.

    Mit Schnee geschmückt - na endlich! Bei uns bläst die Bise und kein Schneeflöckchen am Horizont ...
