Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.

Sorry I've not been posting much, I've just not had the time to get out with my camera. I did manage out at sunset last night and snapped this. I liked how everything appeared orange despite the fact that ot was bitterly cold.
Lights last glow for the day at Montana's beautiful Seely Lake.
This sunset was unfortunately enhanced by wildfire smoke. May we have clearer skies this summer.
Your views, comments, faves and support are sincerely appreciated!
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday!
Smile on Saturday: Sunset
Mount Canigó (Canigou in French) is our "sacred" mountain. Every year the summer solstice fire is light at the top of the mountain and brought back to the plain, where it then goes to towns in villages around Catalonia (both French and Spanish) and to other regions, including Belgium. It is a majestic, star-shaped mountain that overlooks the plain and the sea, and can be seen from virtually everywhere in the region (and even from Marseille, which is 300 km from here, thanks to an optical phenomenon... I'm telling you, it has magical powers!). You can never be used to its beauty, there is always a moment when you catch sight of it and your breath is taken away. It is particularly magnificent in winter, when it is covered in snow; the light of the rising sun paints it a soft pink, and sunsets become truly magical, wherever you watch them from.
Some evenings we do strike gold, like here with some of the peaks of Glacier Park catching the setting sun. Perfect way to end a wonderful day.
Have a great week!
