The last days it was pretty cold here in Germany, I have seen temperatures between -5 and -19C on my thermometer. This gave some good weather conditions to take photos: blue sky, sun shining, no wind and some snow and ice.
One night I had a great view out of my window, we had no snow yet, but it was very icy, the trees were full of ice. And the street lights made those icy trees look like they are made of glass! Unfortunately I could not really take good pictures of that, the real live view was much more impressive, but here are two shoots from the next morning:
I took some other pics when I was on holiday with some friends. We spent a few days in a small castle, located close to city Torgau, at the river Elbe. On one day we went to an old side arm of the Elbe river, there were some small lakes, completely frozen... however when we tried to take a group picture, the ice broke with a loud bang... probably we were too heavy standing all together in a group on the ice :-D
Luckily the ice did not completely break thru, so we were all save.
So I don't have pics from that... but could take some few others:
And finally some pics that I took at the garden, during sunset time. I love the color of the light during sunset:
