Since, as reported yesterday, winter returned this weekend for one last hurray, I took the chance to go hiking in the snowy winterwoods one more time. And of course, I also took some photos. The location is once again the Westermark forrest near Syke in North West Germany, familiar from earlier snowy forrest photo posts.
I also saw some deer and a woodpecker, but unfortunately, I was not quick enough to photograph them.
So take a look at what March looks like in the Westermark woods:
Snow frosted winter woods
The branches were so heavily frosted with snow, that they turned many of the paths into a curious fairtale wonderland.
Close-up of some snow-frosted branches
The pine trees hung heavy with snow as well.
The “witch house” for once looks really like a witch’s home.
Barely fifty meters from where I parked my car and yet it looks like Narnia.

So gorgeous!
Yes, the beauty makes you forget that the timing isn’t all that great.
You’re really doing a great job with your exposure compensation, Cora. Good work.
I suppose now is not a good time to tell you we’re trying for the 80s (26+ Celsius) this upcoming weekend. ;p)
Glad you like the photos, Doug.
Last weekend, we had bright sunshine and warm (by North German standards) temperatures of 14 degrees Celsius, but now it’s right back to snow and frost.
