Please excuse,dear friends, no translation.
Wishing you a peaceful and happy Sunday of 2nd Advent.

Nachdenkliches aus dem Gedichtzyklus "Die 13 Monate"
von Erich Kästner.
Ich liebe diesen kleinen Gedichteband,in dem Kästner die Schönheit, aber auch die melancholischen Seiten der jeweiligen Jahreszeit beschreibt.
Eines seiner romantischsten und idyllischsten Werke.
Ich wünsche Euch einen friedvollen 2. Advent.
________________
Der Dezember
Das Jahr ward alt. Hat dünnes Haar.
Ist gar nicht sehr gesund.
Kennt seinen letzten Tag, das Jahr.
Kennt gar die letzte Stund.
Ist viel geschehn. Ward viel versäumt.
Ruht beides unterm Schnee.
Weiß liegt die Welt, wie hingeträumt.
Und Wehmut tut halt weh.
Noch wächst der Mond. Noch schmilzt er hin.
Nichts bleibt. Und nichts vergeht.
Ist alles Wahn. Hat alles Sinn.
Nützt nichts, dass man's versteht.
Und wieder stapft der Nikolaus
durch jeden Kindertraum.
Und wieder blüht in jedem Haus
der goldengrüne Baum.
Warst auch ein Kind. Hast selbst gefühlt,
wie hold Christbäume blühn.
Hast nun den Weihnachtsmann gespielt
und glaubst nicht mehr an ihn.
Bald trifft das Jahr der zwölfte Schlag.
Dann dröhnt das Erz und spricht:
"Das Jahr kennt seinen letzten Tag,
und du kennst deinen nicht."
(Erich Kästner)
My first post of 2017. Really relishing in the great photographic opportunities this Winter is providing. Embrace the Season !!!!
iPhone Panoramic Sabotage ( Pano-Sabotage ), where the "facetinzing" of the image is achieved with the phone camera in "pano" mode. Sabotage means to deliberately break the rules of standard panoramic capture. Colour effects and atmosphere are added in post-camera manipulation.

Stopped above Donner Lake today for this view of the west end of the lake. I can never cross Donner Pass without thinking a little about the tragedy that resulted in it's current name.
A small excerpt from Wikipedia,
"In early November 1846 the Donner Party found the route blocked by snow and was forced to spend the winter on the east side of the mountains. Of the 81 emigrants, only 45 survived to reach California; some of them resorting to cannibalism to survive."

Stopped near Coalville Utah today for a few pictures of the Echo Reservoir area. The westbound side of the interstate which is where I stopped is difficult to get a lot of the lake into the picture because the highway and guardrails blocking the view. So, like always, just work with what is available. On my way through Salt Lake I stopped by my moms house and took her to lunch, then over to Walmart to grab a few thing. The 20 degrees in Salt Lake felt pretty nice, and I did make it to California tonight, so glad to be out of the freezing temperatures of the past two weeks.

I loved the perfectly hemispherical shape of this tree. It's a shame I had to include the tree on the righthand side but repositioning would have meant loosing the light..... some times you just have to go with what nature gives you!
Thank you for your comments and faves.

The Winter Solstice arrived at 4:45am Local Time. This shot just before the sun rose shows a fiery scene in the sky but we would not see the sun as it rose into the cloudy sky. Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
I find this driveway so inviting. I just want to drive in and see what is around the corner. I really liked the blue sky too. Hopefully this will be one of the last winter scenes I will post this year.... Here's hoping anyways.

The white area in the middle ground is a frozen pond. This is the first real snowfall for over 2 years in our area of Virginia other than a couple of dustings.
