in winter the ordinary street lamps receive temporary support by the incandescent christmas decoration. this makes for a cosy atmosphere, for example in the narrow alleys of historic towns like markdorf. if the moon additionally appears by back-lighting the clouds, your christmas feelings get into top gear again, despite being already on the home stretch.

2512 - yoo-hoo smile

although you might think that the pic of our today's (second) presents hand out looks a bit like a frame of a posed scenery, there was truly not more than a yoo-hoo by me to attract tina's attention for a short time, this one (almost) candid image. your eye for the details - colours, lights, atmosphere and so much more - is the key to success.

my enchantress tina and i wish you all the very best!

0212 - winter is setting in

in the course of the arriving winter the scenery and the rural townscape evolve into perfect advent postcard subjects.

light, soft snowflakes waft through the alleys and dip the landscape in a clear, plain white. the windows are already richly decorated and fir branches make for festive atmosphere. so cosy.
