Trees on White | #monomad Challenge

A couple of days ago, I needed to escape from the gray fog and the rain in town for a while.

Trees on White
^{#monomad Challenge}

As you can imagine, this post is my entry for the #monomad challenge created by @brumest and hosted by @monochromes.
There was not much color in the photos anyway, so I wouldn't even have had to edit them in #monochrome.

Trees on White - white fog, white snow, silhouettes of trees

A little walk in the snow was all I wanted, but I was also hoping that the raindrops would turn into snowflakes when I reach higher altitudes ... and my wish got fulfilled, because it was snowing on the little mountain I was driving up. Not much snowing though, but it was snowing, and that was all I wanted 😁

The fog, which was dark gray down in town, changed to a bit more white and together with the slight snowfall it painted a to me beautiful landscape. Of course, these are no Winter Wonderland photos as you might expect them to be in this time of the year, but more minimalist monochrome landscapes.

Gently Falling

Softly from the sky is falling
Snowflakes white as lilies fair;
Gently to each other calling
As they float down through the air.
Softly, softly, oh so softly!
Do they come from dizzy heights;
Gently, gently, oh, so gently!
Do they lay a blanket white.
Over all the many housetops,
Over shrubs and tall, tall trees,
Over hills and field and meadows,
Hiding stones and restless leaves.

That was all for today. I hope you like these images and you can imagine what a peaceful and silent time such a walk in the snow can be.
While I am writing these lines, it's snowing outside and if I can finish work a bit earlier tomorrow I know what I would like to do 😉
