Soon the winter solstice will be here. Much longed for, maybe more than ever this year. No snow – except for one single, great day – and many dark and drizzly days.
Here a series from one of the better days, this week in fact. Notice the play of warm and cold this time of the year. Warm colours if you turn in the direction of the thin rays of the sun – and the cold colours or darkness if you turn towards the sun itself.
One of my favourite spots in ”my” forest, is the passage between two of the grass meadows to the west. Here, Mille used to stand waiting for me by the big oak tree.
The other spot is on my way back from the open landscape to the forest path. The majestic beech trees all aglow with the last rays of the low sun. 2.30 pm.

Amazing photos Leya. Looks like such a magical place there, this forest. No snow? Maybe it will come when you least expect it. Happy winter ❄⛄😊
Thank you, Mabel – and you have a heat wave?
Yes, you are right. We hit 41’C yesterday, with high 30’C plus days before that and today. There have been fires in the regional areas. Quite bad early on in summer. I stayed at home for most of yesterday, then went out in the evening to soak up the air-conditioning in the shopping mall.
We all have our favourite places for memories .. this is a lovely one Ann Christine . I see what you mean about the contrasts very clearly … glad I’m all snug looking at the frost . .. it’s all VERY beautiful though !
I do wish for some more snow…Thank you for a lovely comment, Poppy.
These are stunning photos! Love how you captured the trees and branches, great angles. 🙂
Thank you, Amy!
Ljuset är underbart såhär års. Härliga bilder, fina platser:)
Visst är det! Det lilla ljus som finns är väldigt speciellt.
Gorgeous forest photos, Ann Christine. I love your header photo and also your’ favourite spot’. 🙂
Sylvia, I’m glad you like them too! To me they are of course special because I practically ”live” in this forest. Isn’t that one of life’s greatest joys – finding new angles and discovering new details within things you already know so well?
A beautiful place to go, I’d like to be there 🙂
You’re welcome!
