A touch of frost

[Thomas Huber]

Still no sign of frost here in my garden, but when I visited my parents-in-law at Christmas (600m)
I found this beautiful scenery and had to hurry, because sunshine was burning down everything
of the white touch within the next hour:

Thomas, what wonderful photos! Luckily I am already sitting here wearing a fur coat and fingerless gloves, or I would have needed to go and put on warm clothes, you frosty pix are so real! (The Bulb Despot is a little sparing with the central heating, what can I say!)

[Thomas Huber]

Maggi I could send you some warm wishes for warming you up 

Here the last photos of that beautiful day:

[Maggi Young]

Your warm wishes have done me good, Thomas! I see the there are some windmills in the area, which echo very well in the shapes of the frost on the seed heads. What is the round tower with the veranda below?

[Thomas Huber]

Maggi, the round tower is the "Knüll-Tower" on top of the Knüllköpfchen - which is the highest point of
the Knüll-Mountains. My parents-in-law live below the peak in Schwarzenborn and we often use to go
sledging there in winter, when it's white there and green in Neustadt (30km westward).

Fantastic photos Thomas!

Great pictures Thomas - was it very windy there?  A lot of the ice seems to have built up on one side.

We used to have winters, once upon a time.

Beautiful pictures, Thomas. Thank you for sharing them.

Thomas,

I never saw frost like that, simply amazing. Fabulous photographs, well captured.

Thanks everybody - great you like my photos!

John, it was NOT windy when I made the shots, but obviously it was the days before!

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Great pix Thomas, many thanks for sharing them.
Shows how beautiful "cold" can be - we haven't seen any this winter over here so far, but they're predicting a cold spell for next week....

[Thomas Huber]

Yes, Luc, I don't like the winter coldness, but I thought the same, when I made the photos!
Forecasters are warning for new storms at the following weekend and then for coldness!

What an amazing winter landscape. Thanks so much Thomas. You must have frozen out there in the cold, taking all the pictures. Great heroism! I hope there was something warm to drink when you finished. I think hoar frost is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
