Weeks of Snow

After moving in, two of my new roommates, Anja and Marina, and myself went for a hike on Feldberg, the tallest point in the Black Forest. I'd been skiing there two years ago and was excited to see what it looked like in the Fall. It looked incredibly similar to Winter.

This was an exceptional mid/late October day, covered in snow. Today, two weeks later, there is no snow on Feldberg. Nonetheless, I'm encouraged. There is good skiing ahead.

The strange seasonal mix made for Narnia-like collages of snow covered summers.

These berries are very confused.

Autumn trees, summer fields, wintry mountains.

A spectacular scene. I thought the whole time to myself, while following a river through green forest blanketed with snow and falling flurries, Brothers Grimm would have had endless inspiration in these woods.
