Join me in freezing my butt off
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 06:42 pmThis entry is backdated as it's more to my information than of general interest. I am too photo-post happy of late.
It's funny, because when Crocky is here and all exited about going for a walk and exploring the neighbourhood, I hardly ever feel like it. When I come along, I have to drag myself everywhere and am usually glad when we're back home. Whenever Crocky is not around, I have curiously itchy feet and go on long, extended walks.
At 8am this morning, I decided I wanted to go for a walk and have another go at the light frost I failed to be able to take pictures of in the dark at Christmas. Fortunately, the same people who thought it was bright to build a huge intersection and a shopping district right on the middle of a cemetery which is a few centuries old also thought it would be nice to have a great big forest and so we are lucky enough to have the Eilenriede, which is one of the biggest forests within city limits in Germany. It's lovely there, but strangely busy around the time I got there with people walking their dogs or jogging or just slowly shivering along like me.
It was a bit of a surprise for me how different the Eilenriede looks in winter. I had only ever been there in July and August, and once in October, the lack of colours really came as something of a shock - everything was coated in frost or behind a slight haze.
( Cold things (13) )
Yeah. Back to work.
