The snow is a fairly rare phenomenon here where I live. It falls for a few days each year in the inland areas of this region, from fifty to a hundred kilometers north of my hometown, but in my southern, seaside place, the snow comes once or twice in a decade, and usually, it doesn't even last a whole day.
As always, or in most cases, at least, when something is rare, it tends to become special and precious. That's probably why I love snow very much. I like its color, its texture, and how the snowflakes look through the magnifying glass. I also like how the air smells on a typical snowy day.
Since I don't travel much I don't encounter snow very often. With that said ...
... you can imagine how overwhelmed with joy I was while approaching an entire planet made of snow.
Nivalitor 3zX is orbiting one of the stars on the outskirts of our galaxy. I didn't have enough money to visit the nearby Alps, so I built myself a rocket in the backyard and went flying high.
The one and only photograph of this post was taken while I was orbiting Nivalitor 3zX. I was holding the camera with only one hand becouse the other one was busy holding a cup of mulled wine.
The photograph shows a detail of the equatorial topography of the planet.
There is plenty of intelligent life under the snow but I was there just to have a bit of fun not on an unpaid diplomatic mission so I didn't make the contact.
I mean, you can send me to onboard aliens on Hive, but it must be a well-organized thing, not just a whimsical expedition with no clear goal besides having a bit of winter fun.
AND THAT'S IT. HAVE A GREAT DAY, OR NIGHT, WHEREVER IN THE UNIVERSE YOU ARE. THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH IN TODAY'S EPIC SHITPOST IS MY WORK.
