A wonderful day out in the snow (2) - a photo on Flickriver

A wonderful day out in the snow (2)

            It is always such a pleasure to be able to escape the city in the lowlands  within a short time up to the wonderland of snowy mountains in the Black Forest. Lovely views over the Rhine valley and to the Vosges mountains are possible on clear days.
 
At first I admire always the wonderful old Beech trees if I am on the Schauinsland mountain.They are some hundred years old and I love them.
These trees look  always a bit like dancing because they are formed by the strong Westwind.

The beech trees look so different every time - sometimes a heavy load of snow paints soft lines - another time the snow was melting a bit during the days (often 0 + 2 C around noon ). Than cold nights (-7 to -10 C) add a real icy look, like in this image.

By the way, these are actually 2 trees standing together.
I have taken many images of them - it is  never, ever boring
to capture their  beauty in winter.
