As I failed to carry my camera the other day when taking my car to the garage, I missed some spectacular images of frost-covered weeping willows…grrr
So I had to search the archives, which are largely bereft of anything interestingly wintry. In the end it fell to scanning a print from yonks ago when I was skiing in Austria, and the quality isn’t great:
Wintry view from Obergurgl ski run
I think you would agree it looks gloomily wintry! Posted for Paula’s Thursday Special.

Beautiful, Sue. It is not all white. It has some interesting tones of brown and grey too.
Thanks, Paula! Sadly, that was the last time I went skiing… I remember not having the stamina the rest of the group had, and it would be quite some years before all the pennies dropped….

Looks dreamy Sue! I love to ski!
Well, that was my last time, alas…
Love this,…Brrrrr Brrrrr …!
Most definitely brrr!
We have all done that….forgot the camera that is! Sometime you make use of your mobile phone, but the resultant image that results, usually just serves as ‘kick’ that you forgot the camera!!! But you still on occasions do. Nice image fro the archive 🙂
Thanks, David!
Really beautiful scene, Sue. I’ve never skied. I think I missed out, but it’s too late to start now. 😅
It’s not for everyone!
Quality or not, it is suitably wintry. I have never been skiing, but I have been to some very snowy places!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete!
It looks pretty good to me, in a shivery kind of way!
Very shivery!
I think the current quality adds atmosphere. Eerily bleak.
Thank you, Tish!
Beautiful, indeed! I used to ski in Rockies, Colorado.😄
Thank you! Glad you like it, Amy
Just got a photo taken in the Sierra Nevada near Reno and Tahoe–325 inches of snow. I posted on Facebook.
Goodness! I would love to see that, but don’t use Facebook!
And I’m not sure how to post it here…maybe on my blog as a poem, since I didn’t take the photo (thank God).
OK!
It’s perfectly wintery! And another piece of photographic autobiography.
Indeed….perhaps I’m giving too much away…
The efforts some people will go to for a pal, Sue 🙂 🙂
Not quite with you, Jo!p
Scanning and so forth? 🙂 Just ignore me, Sue. It’s much easier. Hope it’s been another busy and happy week for you.
Oh, I see! And, no, I shan’t ignore you!
