Wow!! what a beautiful landscape, you are very lucky indeed to live in such a beautiful place. Super to see all the atmospheric optical effects too :hamster: and it is surprising what solar images you can get through a window :bow

Looks like you have a bit of this going on too http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/44pars.htm

Many thanks to Alexandra. Moisture in the air, snow dust and severe frost did their job. Photography does not convey, but everything around is as if in a faint fog.

Thank you, Rainer. You said you lived in Germany, do you miss her? Sorry if I got it wrong.

Thanks, Brian. I think there is a lot of this in Canada too :) I keep thinking about how you photograph in such cold weather, I am impressed.

Ivan
Yes , that is correct.

I was born in Belgium in 1953 moved with the parents in 1958 to Mexico first time, went back in 1971 to Germany lived there up to 1993 and then due to work reasons I moved to Mexico again.

Wow, Reiner, how many and often you have had to move. For me, who has never changed his place of residence (I was born in 1981 in Russia, then still the USSR :) ), it looks very bold and interesting. So many new things: people, languages, cultures. And at the same time, sadness for the abandoned native places.
Thanks for sharing this.
And Merry Christmas.

Ivan
