Hello Steemians,
a few weeks ago, the weather and avalanche conditions were perfect for my first snow shoe tour this year.
So I packed my equipment in the evening to go to the beautiful Allgäu Alps in Bavaria the next day early in the morning.
The weather was perfect, there was enough snow, the sun was shining and in the evening I was even allowed to admire the supermoon.
When I arrived in the Allgäu I first visited at a beautifully iced tobel landscape.
You see my post about this little paradise here. ;-)

After a short meal break, I strapped on my snowshoes and started my tour to the mountain.
After a few meters, I was able to admire a beautiful halo effect in the sky, the blissful optical phenomena enjoyed me almost the entire mountain hike.
Halo is the name of a optical phenomena produced by light interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Halos can have many forms, ranging from colored or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky. Many of these are near the Sun or Moon, but others occur elsewhere or even in the opposite part of the sky. (Wikipedia)
Usually I planned to wait on the mountain for the supermoon in the evening and capture some photos from a nice perspective.
But the weather changed, the clouds become darker and a little snow storm began.
In the vicinity of a refuge, I took another break and hoped that the weather will improve again and a clear sky and the supermoon can be seen.
After waiting for some time, I continued to hike to my car, which stood a few hours away in the valley.
A few minutes after i started my journey back home, the cloudy sky cleared out and the supermoon showed up. So i quickly stopped, put up my tripod and was able to catch some nice photos... :)
It was a magical, blissful hiking day in the mountains and i can't wait for my next tour... :)
What about you? Do you also like the pure nature, climbing in the mountains or hiking in beautiful woods? Leave me a comment below! ;-)
