To all my dear Hive friends, and to all those who are walking around this Wednesday, and celebrating Christmas today, I wish a lot of health and happiness.
Merry Christmas.
Although I also celebrate Christmas, I will have to wait two more weeks for it to arrive according to the Julian calendar, which is celebrated on January 7.
I'm sorry that this beautiful snow fell when it's not my vacation time, I don't have time to enjoy playing on snow, I have to go to work, but I still used the time to walk from home to the bus and back.
I headed for the car first, but judging by the amount of snow that buried my neighbors' cars, I knew that my car was also covered in snow.
When I approached the car, I immediately decided, there's no way I'm going to clear it of snow, I'm going to walk.
And I used that walk to take some beautiful photos at dawn, when I left for work, and at dusk, when I was coming back from work...
Snow covered fields, playgrounds, tree branches and buried cars.
The children rushed to the sledding hills and made very steep tracks with their sleds.
And I photographed some interesting details along the way - a bucket and a bench with snow caps, solitaires in the fog, tracks in the snow that were left behind me, as well as one shadow (mine), so you don't think that I found these photos on the Internet 🙂
I walked on the untrodden snow and enjoyed the sound of the snow crunching under my boots.
I hope that the #wednesdaywalk will also please you who are celebrating today, especially if you had a rich Christmas lunch, to burn off some calories 🙂
As a Secret Santa gift for my colleague who is an amateur photographer, I bought the book "Digital Photography", in which professionals talk about photography techniques.
I never knew until now that the weather without the sun is the best for photography and only now, in these photos, I notice what they wrote about.
I don't take photos with a camera, but with a mobile phone camera, without a tripod, lens and flash, and I imagine how much more beautiful these photos would be if I applied at least half of the advice I found (briefly) in that book.
I'm on the verge of buying myself a camera, but I don't do it, because I don't often have the opportunity to have it with me...
But if I get it as a gift for Christmas, I will use it, I promise 😀
