We currently have here in Northern Germany a relatively cold and long winter, a challenge to each photographer. You need good warm clothes if you go out and the batteries of your camera could get problems, if you don't protect it against the cold. Many new problems has the winter photographer to solve, before he is ready to shoot, that the summer photographer does not know.
On the other hand the winter offers us good motives like ice and snow. The best snow is the fresh snow - it is whiter than the old one, and if you are lucky, you have sunshine or fog, or both.
But even on a dark, grey afternoon ("evenoon", cause the sun goes down so early) you can find interesting structures, when the snow is underlining the branches of a tree, like you can see it here in this image. I also made several other abstract shots and it is always a good exercise for the eye, to find motives like this one in the chaotic textures of the winter wood.
