| The local church which is also used for music performances. It's a beautiful building. | 
|  | 
| How can one lose a shoe and not miss it? | 
|  | 
| Winter came back again with snow. | 
|  | 
| I took lots of pictures like this, they looked like abstract paintings to me. Just snowy branches. | 
|  | 
| My assistant being very alert. | 
|  | 
| A tree...of course... | 
|  | 
| And more trees, the snow made the world almost black and white. | 
|  | 
| A cosy home for cold birds. | 
|  | 
| In winter most benches are lonely and abandoned, a bit like the island itself. | 
|  | 
| I loved the straight lines these tree stems made. | 
|  | 
| Everything becomes so quiet in winter and so beautiful. | 
|  | 
| More line work by left over tree stems with snow on one side. | 
|  | 
| The big pond near my house. Can you believe that in summer this is often dried up? | 
All the snow is gone again now. People are longing for spring, but you know me, I'm hoping winter will make a few more appearances. It's not too late, it's only February after all. Spring will bring it's own wonders, I know, but nothing touches me like the desolate nature of winter where the only birds you hear are crows and the world is oh so quiet and solemn. I just can't get enough of it.
Hope you enjoyed these winter pics and wish you a wonderful and very artsy weekend!
