I love winter, and I love snow even more. What I love less is temperatures falling down to -18°C, especially when it’s 8 am and I am ready to go out with my camera… though I perfectly know that without those temperatures I wouldn’t have been able to rejoice at the view of two iced lakes. What a fascinating scene!
Last week I spent a funny and beautiful morning photographing around two lakes not far from where I live. It started out as a cloudy morning, then slowly turned into a glorious sunny day. Though it was freezingly cold, I was so wrapped up in joy at taking photos that I didn’t feel it that much (or was it because of the 3 sweaters and warm heavy trousers I was wearing?!)
These are some shots of the day. Put on your coat, it’s going to be very cold!

These photos are stunning! They remind of the silence and peace of winter. 🙂
they are beautiful, I find winter a real wonderland! 🙂 thankyou
These photos are amazing. Very beautiful. Living in Boston though, I’ve got to say… winter is pretty, only in photos for me. *Sigh* I’m ready for Summer!
Thank you! So glad that you like them and that they convey you such feelings. 🙂
Hi i’m Jaclyn and I must say I love your pictures here and your story about winter and taking pictures of it. how it makes you feel. I feel so captivated and moved by your words. please write more things like this. Is so moving. and I must ask you this, how did you get people to read and comment on your stuff. I’ve been tring to do that with mine and so far no one has noticed any of mine. any advice? thanks and what a good piece of work. you should write a book about something to do with winter.
What beautiful photos! In my country, Lugo (Galicia, Spain) cold (non much as i) and also makes beautiful images: the ice fields and covered with a pure white mantle. Seeing your photos I remembered the image of this morning. greetings 🙂
Thank you for your comment! I am happy that you liked the photos and that they made you remember the white fields you saw where you live. I am sure it must have been breathtaking!
i could actually feel the chill just by seeing the pics 🙂
amazing work !
What she said! The one photo of the single sparkle in the snow reminds me of a story I wrote about an ice fairy. Beautiful. We have not had any wintery stuff in Indiana this year to photograph. Enjoy 🙂 AmberLena
I hate winter but you make it look pretty. 🙂
I am so glad that I made you like winter a little more, even if in pictures! 🙂
Share the sentiment about winter, but your pictures are breathtaking. Hmm…pun might be intended. : )
I just LOVE the third from the bottom photo with all the sun bokeh dots. So pretty 🙂
These are perfectly wonderful! I especially love number 7 on the list. Congrats on the FP!
There is reason why people say, a picture says a thousand words. You pictures speak.
Wow, beautiful photos. The scenery looks so serene and magical. Thanks for sharing and congrats on being freshly pressed!
Absolutely beautiful 🙂
Snowfall is a rare occurrence where I live, but these pictures are exactly what a perfect winter is like in my imagination!
These pictures are remarkable! 🙂 Great job!
Ohh !! Who doesn’t love snow !! 😀 And the pics are awesome 😀
And please check out my latest post on love – http://raajtram.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/love-sometimes-stupidity-d/
thanks for the tour! enchanting indeed.
thats a beauty……. nice photography 🙂
Funny how just a few photos can make me fall in love with winter… 🙂
Oh, my. These are absolutely brilliant. The starkness of the winterscape, contrasted with the bare branches…just brilliant. And the first one? Love the mood of the black and white.
The first in black and white is one of may favourites indeed.
Thank you for leaving your nice comment!
Absolutely stunning images! So stark and yet serene. GORGEOUS!!
These pictures are so beautiful…I really enjoyed this post!This winter we had lots of snow and cold. Right now it’s beginning to melt but it was wonderful…everything white and sometimes frozen.
beautiful shots! I love the peace and calm of snowy or cold days. Everything takes a break from rushing around to huddle up and stay warm.

Love these. I feel like we’ve missed out entirely on winter this year in NYC. I never thought I’d miss snow!
Love the one of the bright sun on water and the twig poking out of the ater delicately holding snow.
I love winter pics…..great photos
Dan
I am a winter lover as well and have missed it terribly in NYC this year. Thanks for reminding me of how beautiful winter can be!
I do not have heavy winter here in Central Virginia and am not crazy for ultra-cold, yet thanks for the stroll into your world today. I invite you to visit my blog where my photographs and essays portray my passions.
Magnificent! As a desert dweller, (though high desert we do get snow it just doesn’t hang around) it’s nice to remember lakes and water in the winter. The one of the footprints reminds me of a question my coach would often ask, how are you walking in the world?
That’s a great question, and it’s something we should think about more often. I am happy that my photograph reminded you that.
Thanks for sharing you thoughts and comment.
You’re right, we can feel the cold, you’re very talented….
You certainly captured winter Marta. Lovely photos. congratulations for being Freshly Pressed.
These are some beautiful photographs! Sadly, Winter never managed to hit Northern Virginia very hard this year… Or at all, really.
Fin!
I also love winter-but in moderation. It’s always nice when spring finally arrives. My favourite photo is the one of the frosted branches, thank you 🙂
We probably wouldn’t rejoice so much when spring finally arrives if we didn’t have winters. 🙂 I confess I am longing for spring to come, yet winter makes me savour more its arrival.
Thank you for your words!
Beautiful set of photos of a winter walk.
Beautiful pictures!! Makes me ‘almost’ like winter!
Gorgeous photos! So jealous you have snow!
Beautiful photos!
absolutely beautiful! I miss winter 😦
you have inspired me to put on my coat – we have fresh snow and the temperatures are not too bad. love your work!
I hope you’ll enjoy your walk through fresh snow, I am sure it must be simply amazing out there right now. Enjoy every second of it!
Thank you for leaving your words.
Just gorgeous! I love the ones that show the wide open space and snow. The closeups are beautiful too!
These pictures are stunning! They perfectly capture a feeling of stillness and quiet. Isn’t it funny how there are some really lovely pictures to be captured on some of the most bone-chilling days? “Impressionism,” “Pointing down” and “Ice blind” are my favorites although the whole set is lovely.
I personally think that beauty is everywhere, sometimes it is a bit more hidden, but it’s always there for us. We need to train our eyes to see the world differently, take our time and savour the moment. We are so used to rushing around all day long that we miss beautiful little things.
I am very happy that you liked the photos, and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Very lovely!
Subahallah! The hush of winter! Where do you live? Lonely walks are the best to commune with the Art of the Creator.
All right !!!!!!!!!!!
Reblogging, this is gorgeous! Wonderful job

Awesome photography!
I love it! Thank you for posting!
…following your blog…
Gorgeous! We haven’t had much winter here in the south at all. 😦 I’m missing it very much.
Beautiful. I absolutely love winter. Thank you for capturing it so beautifully. Where were these taken?
I live not far from Turin, Italy, and very close to the Alps. Winter always gives us lovely sceneries. 🙂
Reblogged this on writingisl0ve.
I love, love , love your photos. I love winter and this catches many of the reasons why. Would it be ok for me to repost one of your pictures on my blog? I blog about many things, but one of the main things I blog about is being single, I think the 10th pic. from the bottom, would make a perfect visual for one of my upcoming blogs. I would of course link back to your blog!
Marta, very nice work! Beautiful. I really enjoy them. Thank you for sharing it. Will stop back and visit.
Tony
Very nice, I like the last picture the best. I did a similar photo walk a few weeks ago:
What lens did you use? 85mm?
I used a 24-70mm.
I love the open water juxtaposed with the ice and snow. Seems impossible and is so lovely with the reflections. Very nice photos…thanks for taking us along on your chilly morning walk!
Cool pictures…
Amazing photos, they really capture the feel of winter.
wow, this is excellent work the angles are precise and i love the tone of day you were able to capture these photo in. I do appreciate the damp nature this word provides us with, it’s comfortable and soothing like scenes like this were you can sit back and just think -,o
http://wp.me/2aAA8
beautiful! what location?
I love how all your photos set the mood of peace, softness and serenity. You’ve captured that quite well. at least to me upon viewing them. Great job and have a wonderful (and warm) weekend! 🙂
You captured the essence of cold exquisitely. I got the shivers just looking. That photo of the tree hanging over the lake with the sun shining through is amazing.
Such beautiful photos! I am a WordPress photographer as well, so I absolutely love when I see posts like this! Great job.
Congratulations making Freshly Pressed!
Great photographs! Congrats on freshly pressed!
Beautiful! Thanks so much for braving the frigid weather, and posting great shots!
Wonderful photos. It might as well be winter here but I rarely see such landscape!
Love the winter pictures! I hate cold and I hate snow (I’m from New York and we usually get plenty of both during the winter… though I have been in Spain the past 2 years). But sometimes a nice winter walk can be worth it!
Wow! The thing about winter it is so beautiful especially when you can capture it from the warmth of your home… Thank you for sharing I love the artistic value of the 3rd from the top the trunk and roots going into the lake! It is very interesting to the eye! Love that! There are some other awesome ones but that one really stood out! They are all beautiful! Sj
Oh by the way I forgot to mention I love the photo in your banner!!! That is awesome! sj
Beautiful. There’s a sensation of loneliness.
A perfect portrayal of winter.
Quiet solitude – a solitude one can take comfort in.
Loneliness is the absence of something, and winter is simply the lack of heat; a cold summer.
winter is so beautiful!
I’m actually a little heartbroken looking at your lovely photographs. I thought I was lucky that we had a mild winter but now I’m not so sure. I forgot how beautiful winter can be when you take a moment to look at it rather than just suffer through it.
Thanks for sharing this with the world!
wonderful photos! i love the chill feeling and some sort of peacefulness when i looked at your pictures! not to mention the quality of the pictures itself. stunning job!
Absolutely stunning. I can see why you braved the cold.
Great job. I love the light!
I liked each of these as a reminder for us to be still and enjoy nature – cold or warm. Great series.Thank you for sharing
Sincerely
Todd
Despite the evidence Winter, I feel only warmth in your images. Enchanting, indeed.
I am also very much like to live on winter with snow and i think you enjoyed a lot with you photography.
Great shots! I’m from Chicago, where the winters aren’t this beautiful. If only they looked like this, maybe I’d change my mind about January…
Awesome pictures! It’s winter here as well, but the snow (especially on branches and trees) melts pretty quick this year! You can see it in the morning, but gone by afternoon. Global warming! Sigh~
Such beautiful photos! I love winter, and I love snow even more.Great job.
your pictures bring me to a different place! beautiful
These are great photos! I love how the snow looks like sugar frosting! These photos make me miss seasons SO bad!
Very nice photo blog !!!
Thank you! I have a fascination with snow and ice, but I live in a tropical clime where the only ice crystals I see are those building up on the walls of my freezer. I can’t even begin to image how cold this sort of cold actually feels, but I’m glad you braved it to snap these beautiful images. Sending you virtual hot chocolate 😀
awesome man, some of them are really cool…
Catches my sight! Photos captured my heart!
Lovely and so tranquil!
If winter in Chicago looked anything like your photos, it would be my favorite season. absolutely stunning.
Your pictures are exquisite, thank you for sharing!
Awesome images! You’ve captured the setting well, but also the q-u-i-e-t of Winter.
Very beautiful reflections. The color scheme is also very dreamlike. Way to capture the moment!
These photos are absolutely stunning! You did such a good job of capturing the peace and stillness of winter!
That one tree looks like a tree I personally knew very well, in Geneva, Switzerland. Have your photos been taken there?
They are beautiful….. capturing the exact spirit of the winter landscape.
They were taken not far from Turin, Italy.
Great photos! Keep it up!
stunning!
Love everything about these pics! Nice one!
wow, what an amazing photographer you are!!! you’re photo is very very fantastic.. I’m really like it. Thank’s for your inspiration…. 🙂
Brrr! What beautiful shots, that must have been a fabulous walk. (I love your header photo too!)
Your pictures depict the ‘sadness of winter’ and ‘still’ and ‘death’. But hell yea, I lovvvvvvved them!!! so poetic 🙂
Regards
loving, stunning of the epic proportions!!
Great photos! Thank you!
I hate cold (I’m an Arizonan for a reason!) but your photos are gorgeous!
I love your pics.
I love the twiggy and dead leaf picture at the end. It would make a lovely card, print or picture.
Nice shots…. all white and grey… Thanks for sharing.
Great photos. I’m born and raised in Alaska, and I think that I take the beauty of winter for granted. I’m now spending my first rainy winter in Germany and think that I should get out with my camera a look for beauty in the small things around me. Thanks for the inspiration!
J’adore l’hiver aussi, comme le printemps, l’automne ou l’été. Chaque saison a son charme, mais l’hiver est particulièrement magique.
Jolies photos.
Lovely shots ! winter looks more beautiful. 😀
beautiful snaps 🙂
loved them… winter really reminds one of peace and calm…keep uploading more !!
these photos are great! i’ve never experienced winter (as i live on the surface of the sun!) but thanks to your shots, i get to experience it vicariously 🙂 i particularly like “whiteness”
So soothing! Really beautiful 🙂 Just browsing through some blogs and stumbled here! Loved the way you have described 🙂
love your postcard-like photos… congrats on being FP.
like third last imaage “so beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!
All your pics are great especially #7 it’s a winter’s delight and the reflection on the water makes it twice the delight.-joynthemorning
Very lovely photos. Nicely framed. I particularly liked the water shots.
Hi. I like the photo of the small crystal hovering above the mounds of snow. You’ve captured the idea of cold… Jane
breathtaking views youve got there. 🙂
You’ve really captured the beauty of snow, ice and winter in these photos. Amazing shots!
Beautiful… Brilliant…Fantastic…loved it
Were these shot in England or Scotland. Maybe I missed if you said where. I especially like the frozen lake scenes. Having read another one of your blogs where you said that black and white pictures show the soul and color shows the clothes…was an interesting concept to me. I think I want to learn more about black and white photography. Will follow your blog. Nancy

These photos were shot on the Alps near Turin, Italy.
Thank you for your comment!
They’re all beautiful! But #11 is particularly stunning. Gorgeous, gorgeous. -bethany
Wow these are great photos. I really like the one of the branch going into the walker with a duck(?) in the distance. The snow on the branch looks like frosted icing. What camera do you use?
I use a Nikon D700
I find peace staring at your photos!!! There’s a beautiful life transforming in this part of the world…
Wow. Just… wow. Nothing more to say. Now, lakes look even more beautiful in my eyes than they did before.
Your photos are absolutely stunning!
Enjoyed the stark, haunting beauty of your photos! . . . Thank you for sharing!!

Breathtaking! Makes me want to go out for a walk of my own. In fact, I think I will!
Beautiful!
Very inspiring photos! thanks for sharing them with us
Beautiful. It’s like a spiritual solace between you and nature….
Stark yet lively photos! Nice work 🙂
super nice pictures!!!
LOVE these pics! We live in Florida..so talk about REFRESHING :0)
Beautiful pictures of quiet grace. Well done!
Your so lucky , Living in a place like this !!!
I loved your photos .
Your photos are absolutely amazing! They remind me of why – despite freezing cold, icy roads, and endless driveway clearing – I love winter.
Wonderful imagery! I, too, love winter, and you have captured its essence remarkably,
marvelous images ! brrr.. sounds very cold but sounds like you were well dressed ;o)
Beautiful! I like winter…
Wow… Are so beautiful your shots…
Love the pictures. 🙂 Snow is always fun.
That first photograph is beautiful. Almost surreal the way the b&w brings out the shadows and texture of the ice.
I especially like ‘balance’!
a very well-organised as well as scintillating collection……….many f the new bloggers might take a lesson from you…………….extraordinarily admirable…………………
Beautiful pictures!
So serene and beautiful.

Beautiful photos!
beautiful photos!
Amazing how the world works in phases like this… how everything seems to lay still and go to sleep. Winter storms are like the nightmares in the middle of an otherwise peaceful dream!
Some great pictures here… I especially love the ones with texture in the ice.
Well done!
You’re an excellent photographer! Your photos capture the magic of winter so perfectly! 🙂
complimenti, foto bellissime
Amazing photographs! Very tranquil
Its Good, I like it…
Snow and ice just never gets old.
They are all beautiful but the last one made me smile. It reminded me of the game “A Barrel of Monkeys”… the leaves seeming to hang from each other. 🙂
These photos are beautiful! I struggle so much to find the motivation to bundle up and shoot outside in winter, but these are certainly lovely and inspirational! Nicely done!
Really stunning photos! Thank you.
Beautiful!!!!!!
I never knew snow could be so beautiful, I could feel it through your photos, all the way here to hot humid stark Australia. Cheers.
Beautiful shots!! Winter has a magic feeling
I was born and raised in a tropical country. Seeing these photos made me appreciate snow for what seems like first time. They’re more than stunning and beautiful. Superb~
these photos are incredibly striking, they’re fantastic…
I envy as I enjoy your pictures. We have had a “non-winter” in much of the USA and especially in Nashville, TN where I currently am. Much too warm and no “hard freeze” this year. Two days ago it was like, 76degrees F (24.444 Celsius), sunny and windy. It was enjoyable but the early darkness reminded me it is February – very strange and in a way sad because I, like you, like snow…and the unique stillness of ice encrusted nature. Congrats on writing Freshly like hard-Pressed leaves sealed in thick ice.
Wow, gorgeous photos!! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Wonderful photography, love those photos. Excellent work and thanks for sharing.
Serene and beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Very evocative. Some of those pics scream their emotions!
Really well-captured pics.. Cheers 🙂
Amazing pictures! I love winter, there is so much beauty to be found in it.
Congrats on being freshly pressed!!
You deserved this 🙂
How nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
carry on.
wow, your photographs really are stunning.
Like someone else said, I actually felt the chill of the cold
(despite being in the middle of an Australian summer 🙂
and also, I felt your awe of the beauty you were capturing..
wonderful.
There’s no snow in my country. Thank you for sharing your flawless photos! It encourages me to save up so I can travel to different places and see beautiful sights like the ones in your photos. 🙂
These pictures are amazing! They make Winter look even more magical than it already is, it’s brilliant!
Exquisite!
Fantastic shots!
Wow!! Found someone that loves snow just as much as me…. Love your pictures!!
These are such beautiful photos – capturing the magic of winter! I have added you to my blogroll: http://travellingmole.com/
i really hate cold, it hurts me
i have no idea about its beauty
i’m not sure that i could live in it
but i find its beauty in here,
i’m so excited!!! great!!! ^^
COOL pictures 😉
Wow, this pictures are perfect, show coldness and winter on one special,beautiful way that wake up so much peace in me… 🙂
I can`t think of a more worthy freshly pressed post in all my time on wordpress…that first sentance made me happier than most could imagine, I`ve waited a long time to hear someone say those phrases, such a wonderful season yet so unappreciated! Thank you for this! I couldn`t agree more with your sentiment and interests, I hope I can take some winter photos as good as you some day!
Thanks again and keep spreading that winter joy~
These are AMAZING. especially that first one. Winter is absolutely beautiful. Too often, I think people forget about that….because it is so freaking cold!!!! Thanks for the reminder 🙂
love the pictures
check out my blog angeleryka.wordpress.com
They take my breath away, never stop posting!
Very nice shots you have here… I wanna go somewhere that snow falls during winter~
I love the way you frame your shots – these are amazing photos; what a great way to view the world.

That first puddle/drizzle is wonderful.
Beautiful!

Incredible shots! my total favorits: impressionism and ice-blid. You are so able to perceive teh winter cold but they are somehwat soft and warm in composition. Great job. Love the way you see it! 🙂

Absolutely stunning! You are a really great photgrapher!
really stunning winter photos! I love the photo the sixth photo with the trees and lake. gorgeous.
i am yet to experience snow fall – I will probably have to visit another country for that experience. Lovely photos!
All these pix are nice but the first one is amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing this. 🙂
Simply stunning:)
Lovely.
Wonderful Photos! I especially like number 7 ..the lake.
My husband and I didn’t have much of a winter this year, as we spent 3 months in the Australian outback. Hence, seeing your winter collection reminded me of our Russian winter.
Thank you!

Those are so beautiful. They capture winter perfectly. My favorites are seven and eleven.
Absolutely breathtaking! Winter is my favourite season and you have captured the beauty perfectly. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed! 🙂
Winter is the BEST~ I am stuck in Florida. Thank you for bringing a little cold weather my way! Beautiful pics! I can taste the hot chocolate, hear the fireplace crackling, and smell the wood smoke… Ah, how I miss the mountains and the snow…
Very inspiring!! I love the way you chose to pay attention to detail. Thank you very much for sharing. 🙂
Snowflake desolate white makes the subtle blues, yellows and pinks cloudy and pillowed, and only in winter are black silhouettes life-giving. Lovely.
Gorgeous! I actually found myself missing snowy mornings a bit 🙂
Even though I hate the cold, I can’t help but admire the beauty it brings with it. Your pictures are beautiful, especially that soft peachy glow you’ve captured that makes these harsh, cold landscapes just a bit warmer. So pretty 🙂
Outstanding photography. I feel I should “beef up” my blog with more and better pictures, but I have such a hard time finding time to really settle and take lots, decide what is good, etc. I admire your talents, and will visit your page again. Thank you.

wow, so many comments! Just wanted to say how especially lovely the distortions from the frozen lake-water were — the transition areas between water, ice, and snow on branches (as well as the photo with garlanded reflections).
Nice photography! But makes me feel like booking my vacation on a cruise! I’m ready for spring.
Beautiful photographs!
Beautiful. I love the 7th picture, the reflections in the water
Personally, I HATE winter, but this post has my seal of approval!
Your photos are absolutely beautiful!
These photographs are breathtaking! What a lovely post.
Oh my goodness this is so refreshing. I live in Honolulu where it’s hot, sticky and “voggy” (volcanic ash storm). But this morning I woke up and it’s only 70 degrees and rainy! I felt so good to feel the cold air and putting on a jacket to sit outside and write (I moved here from San Francisco where it’s currently 54 degrees), and I feel even better having seen your photography. Thank you for taking me to your world that is so deliciously exotic for me.
OH MY GOSH those are the most gorgeous photos I’ve ever seen!! Particularly the last one. It has a beautiful simplicity to it.
Thank you SO much!! Love them!
Gorgeous pictures! I love winter if only for the reason that the snow paints a picture of such serenity and peace.
Your pictures are BREATHTAKING! bravo on being freshly pressed – well well deserved.
Awesome! These pictures are so AMAZING! 🙂
Stunning pictures! I love winter and your pictures prove that it’s a beautiful season. Thanks for sharing.
These photos pretty much encompass everything I love about winter.
=)
Great collection! Was out shooting in the cold recently – didn’t last too long! What is your secret for your fingers?
Such breathtaking photos! LITERALLY… WOW you really captured the essence of winter. Thank yolu for sharing and congrats on FP!
The pics are lovely… 🙂
very soothing and touching blog with a great photography
Awesome photographs!

Beautiful photos…I am going to start carrying my camera when I go for a walk from now on.. 🙂
LOVE photo #7 (from the top). thanks for sharing!
Beautiful. Where did you take these?
i love the winter too, this one hasn’t been the snowiest in New England but looking at these remind me of building igloos with my brother. I love the shots, thanks for sharing these dreamy shot!
Brilliant photography!
Even i love to click random pics any moment but after seeing yours i really must say your are just amazing at getting them just perfect even in so chilly winter. 😀
I live 40km south of Barcelona and as you imagine we don’t have this kind of winters, that is why looking at this pictures makes me put in contact with feelings barely touched before. Your photography is poetry
Thanks for sharing it!
It might be cold, but it is amazing! Such beautiful place you’ve got there! Thanks for the beautiful photos!
Wonderful photo’s for today and I did a click on here and was amazed.
Beautiful photos 🙂
Loved your short commentary…the camera can take you places. I really connected with your photos as your eye notices similar beauty that my eye catches. You photos also gave me a sample of what you experienced during those days or short periods of freedom. Thank you.

All I can say is: Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this pictures with us. I really like the last one. It’s just so wonderful. I really can’t wait for summer, but these fotos will make the winter stay in good memories!

Just Amazing image about nature.

I have never been to a ‘cool & snowy’ place. Your words made me feel really bad to live in such a place.
Beautiful pictures. We got to as low as -22 Celsius this year.
Very beautiful photos. I also love winter. I walk and hitchhike a lot. I had to walk through Missoula, Montana recently in a snowstorm. When there is snow on the ground, it makes things more peaceful.

Beautiful Photos, they capture the essence of winter.
I absolutely love the lighting in your photographs. You are very talented!
Your post makes me wish I had been out taking pictures at 8am last week. Great job! The three pictures I liked most were Resting, Ice Blind and Balance. Fantastic!
I could not pick out a favorite of the selection. They were all beautifully done. Thank you for sharing with your WordPress family.
breathtaking pictures.
oh my god these pictures are beautiful!

Gorgeous photos–they make me long for a real, honest-to-goodness winter!
Very nice! I know how hard it is to get out in the cold but the photos captured make freezing our fingers, ties & nose well worth it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful photos.
These are some of the most gorgeous pictures I have ever seen!
Amazing photographs. I really enjoy the way large bodies of water transform when they freeze and thaw.
wow. amazing! its like a winter wonderland. i just want to be in an area as magical as that! it looks lovely, when it shows in the UK the world just stops and we don’t get time to enjoy the beauty that is snow. its just a massive inconvenience for everyone!
keep up the awesome photos sweetie 🙂
keep smiling x
Those photos are just astonishing. and what a beautiful winter you’ve got over there. I’m kinda jealous (very, actually). In instead, I’ve got the most horrible summer over here. I’m barely coping with a minimum amount of 28ªC every day. lol! Regards
your blog is very nice and full of nature
The photo of the branch poking out of the frozen water (3rd from bottom) is my favorite. Great subject and composition.
i hate winter before because it keeps me from doing the things that i love. but when i saw these pics, it made me realize the beauty of winter. awesome!
definetly i agree with u when u say winter is the most beautiful.magic.wonderfull season of the year. I think u can apreciate the beauty of the trees. of the lakes. even the streets! thats i wanna move to the end of the world where the cold is 24/7. sorry bout my english i saw your blog on freshly pressed and i loved it. cheers from argentina!

Beautiful winter photos, congrats on being freshly pressed, My FP post is also winter on a lake. There is so much to photograph in winter.
There is something so peaceful and fulfilling about walking on a snowy winter day, surround by the utter stillness of it all! Your photos are really great capturing the essence of it all.
Some great winter shots here.
great photo;s
Een echt sprookje….heel mooi ! Ik houd ook heel erg van de winter, sneeuw, ijs…..schaatsen….het landschap bedekt onder een dik pak sneeuw…..schitterend.
I love looking at snow and playing in it but boy do I not like tonbe in the cold! =P And those are some beautiful pictures!
It’s very cold. =]]
I love winter because there is no winter in my country.

Beautiful exposures. I love the contrasts of ice and snow and water.
