Ice lollies

Posted by Karsten (Dresden, Germany) on 27 December 2006 in Plants & Nature.

Yesterday, I was going for a walk at the German border to the Czech Republik, together with the family of a good friend of mine.

This years winter is abnormal warm. The few snow flakes, which were falling only in this area, melted and refreezed at temperatures around zero degree Celsius. Now all limbs and needles of the trees are covered in ice coats.

The moon and a plane flying by created an almost surrealistic picture, since the colours match up perfectly.

Picture was taken on a hill named Kahleberg, near the little town Altenberg in Erzgebirge, Saxony.
