winter wonderland

Last Friday, Uwe and I went on a hike in the mountains around lake Tegernsee about an hour and a half south of Munich. We started out in Bad Wiessee and hiked up to the Aueralm, where we took a long break to dry our cloths and warm our bones by the fireplace. It was ice cold and there was a lot of snow, which I had already given up on seeing this winter.

grand canyon

I just went through my archive to prepare my POYi entry, and found these pictures of Grand Canyon that I meant to post for a long time:

in the woods

We just went on a walk in the woods behind our house to pick some mushrooms. We didn’t find a whole lot (just enough for scrambled eggs with mushrooms), but the light out there was amazing. Here are a few shots:
