Mind you, I am already looking forward for Spring but then from the last few days, I woke up once again with all the streets, houses, and trees all covered in snow . I was dreaming that Winter is finally over, reminding myself once again that to love the cold and winter is a privilege. When its winter, my own little town is transformed into a wonderland. Well, for people who work and have enormous errands to do, the sight of snow in their doorstep is never a sign of good morning, let alone for me.
Just in time for this week’s Photo Challenge | Tour Guide, let me share with you some photos of what it looks like over here in Bavaria.
As much as I have been mesmerized by the view of my town in bright sunny day on top of the Pfeifturm, seeing it from above once again covered in snow is also a great experience.
The still waters of the second longest River in Europe, the Danube ,is a sight to behold, it is like a reflecting glass. Sometimes when I looked over the bridge, I’m thinking what if the river freezes? How nice it would be to be able to walk on top of it.This panoramic sight is such a splendor to see while the seasons change its course.
The morning after a night of snow gives an outstanding stillness and silence . It is so peaceful.This is a path I always pass by almost every single day.The river is sleeping, covered in icy cold fog.
Winter is like a dream. You know that soon you need to wake up and realize that reality is just around the corner. On normal days, I don’t see anything special in this place. In Winter, it’s almost like walking into a dreamland, everything is so white. The trees and its wilted branches are quiet witnesses of the cold yet they remain peaceful, agile as ever when the snow embrace them once again, all over again.
This path is always frequented by morning joggers and runners, but this time, the path is deserted. I was quite early. I parked my bike a bit further to capture this serene state. It amuses me that there’s not a single footprint or dog footprints yet.
Undisturbed beauty, unparalleled serenity of German long cold winters.
Beware of walking into the streets, it can be slippery. I’ve seen many people slip and slide through the snow. It’s not a funny sight.
One of the things that I love personally is encounters with nature. I love to photograph nature and living here gives me the access for all of it. The thing about Winter in Germany is that people go by all means what they want to do. As the saying goes “Es gibt kein schlechtes wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung” or ” There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing “. This is so true here.Winter is a season to experience, not a time to slow down the time. People still go out, walking and exploring, as they do when the sun is out.Only the type of outdoor clothing changes.
I find it truly special here in Germany that they have an impressive Manholes ( or sewerage system covers). From where I came from, I don’t see anything fascinating about looking down at these manholes. I don’t recall seeing a fascinating one in my times in Kuwait! They are often dangerous especially when its flooding, or dirty, and mostly broken. But when I came to live here, I came to appreciate the great engineering behind it. The craftmanship and history with its logo, the seal ,the coat of arms of each city that I’ve visited. Maybe for others its nonsense, but for me, they are quite extraordinary. So in Winter, of course, there’s still the Bavarian pride!

Truly a winter wonderland. It is true that there is no bad whether only poor clothing. The winter scene on the Danube is breathtaking. I would love to witness this in person. Lovely photo journey of your area. Thank you

The first Danube picture and the “movie scene” picture of the woods look amazing! Coming from someone who doesn’t like snow 🙂 They really look otherworldly.
I am so over winter, and it definitely is no wonderland when you have things to do and places to go to. Over here, all is white, boringly so… wish it looked as pretty as in your pics! 🙂

Looks wonderful. These kind of sceneries we had in Finland around October each year.
Here in my hometown we also had snow again today, for around half hour as it all melted again 🙂

Thank you so much, yours was a lovely comment. Not all people appreciate the beauty that Winter brings, but for me somehow I came to find the simple ” unique” ways that Snow and the cold has. Have a lovely Day!

As I have no clue how it is celebrated in Bavaria I cannot say much about it. Here you basically buy flowers etc and that is pretty much it, no special events or similar (at least in my hometown)

You are right, these snowy scenes are like a dream, so ephemeral. I love the bird’s eye view of your town. It is a sight to behold. I have lovely memories of spending time in Bavaria, both in the snowy winter and high summer.
