Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind

Posted on by Hanna

What an awesome winter weather. It all started with a blizzard in Jutland, and eventually we got snow in Copenhagen and North Zealand as well.
Completely unreal winter weather where people were stuck in traffic for many hours. It doesn’t happen that often in Denmark anymore.

I had to quote William Shakespeare for Blow Blow You Winter Wind ❤️😊

..Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude…

Happy walks wherever you are 😊☃️

When it’s getting dark in winter …

I have always loved the twilight, ever since I was a little girl. When the sun sets in winter and the clouds turn red. When landscapes are under the spell of snow, the adventure begins. Even life in the streets seems enchanted.

Denmark is a small country with surprisingly big differences in the weather.
In the southern part of Denmark, all children were lured out into a wonderful snowy landscape.
It also snowed a bit 130 km north of the winter wonderland where I live, and it was lovely while it lasted 😁
But it soon started to thaw.
Maybe next time we will have better luck ☃️⛷️❤️

Now the Snow is Falling …

It is snowing right now, as it did two years ago.
Maybe it will be as beautiful as in the paintings 🎄
Parts of Denmark have already received large amounts of snow now.

The Danish landscape is dark in winter, and the sun can be a rare guest.
Then it’s wonderful when the snow covers fields and forests, and lights up new spaces and contours in the landscape.
I love it and it makes my walk an adventure ❤️

A Frozen Lake

Yesterday, the first frost of November. Now it is time for hygge 😊

Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do – or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.

The Poetry of Earth …

Everything can wait, except the last remnant of autumn.
For a moment, the torrential rain has stopped, and the trees welcome us with a few but brilliant colors.
I love every moment of this time; it’s spectacular.

Today, 3 weeks later, the lakes are frozen and snow is on its way in the coming week.

Happy new week to you all ❤️

Almost Unbelievable

October 2023 had the largest amount of rain in Denmark for 25 years.
But it is still possible to see the incredible autumn foliage.
Not everything has been washed away by the rain.

Our walk in Bøllemosen is wonderful, and the smell of peat conjures up images of Norway.

Have to decide which part of Norway needs a visit next year. 😃

Happy new week to you all!

Autumnal Winds

of autumnal winds
Amongst the faded woods.”
