lake luxembourg…waiting for godot

It’s March already. A major winter storm is coming again, the third one in 11 days. Despite this gloomy forecast, there is a sense of excitement in the air and all signs of weather indicate that spring is arriving:

  • A rare breed of public phones emerges from the snow

  • Bikers wake up from winter hibernation

  • Coke and Pepsi machines are on their marks for the spring showdown

  • Row boats are dreaming of breaking free

    and some already test the waters

 

Only cormorants keep cool heads – they can fish legally all year round

lake luxembourg…ice…rain…fog

This February day was unusually warm and rainy but ice still covered our Lake Luxembourg. The ice cooled the air near the lake surface and the rain that was falling through the cold air formed a visually stunning fog. The view of the lake and trees veiled by the fog was so beautiful that despite the rain I could not force myself to leave the scene.  All in all,  keeping the camera in one hand and an umbrella in the other I took over 300 shots. Definitely more than I can consume. So here is just a minor part of them. The rest eventually will go to the unused images heaven during the next hard drive cleaning. Well, it’s life.

Farewell self-portrait with the lake in the background.
