Now we have to be fast enough to catch the winter. Winter has become a short and seemingly dilapidating season. This is a big problem for mountainous areas that rely on winter sports because the main element needed, snow, is becoming scarce.
Of course, this is not the case everywhere. I refer to the climate in Romania and much of Europe. An effect of global warming, caused by human activities, as some people and scientists believe, or, just a cyclical and natural warming of the earth's evolution, as others believe.
I am one of "some people".
That's why I also rushed to capture a few photos to try and turn them into black and white. Here are a few photos that would be good for this kind.
What can be most handy when you're in a hurry, if only to avoid losing a bit of the frost on trees and bushes, is to photograph in your garden. Even if it is a very, very small garden.
For a more unobstructed view, looking skyward through the branches of an old tree better is the nearby park. For those who have a park nearby...
... and yet, they say, "Green grass from home"! Back home to my green ivy, now in black and white. My ivy was insensitive to both the beauty of winter and the snow and ice that, rather timidly, has settled on it.
Winter is a beautiful and desirable season for those who don't have it. Like anything we miss and want to have, even not knowing how good or bad it can be for us.
Winter is not my favorite season but I can't help but recognize its beauty. A beauty that we humans also spoil a little with our interventions.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge.
