an unforseen winter


some days before Christmas, a strange, chilling winter breeze kissed the tips of my ears, as i rode back home from work. my friends and colleagues were persistent in making me realize that such weather in Ostfriesland, usually first dissolved by the sea, comes seldom if ever. so i hoped to capsulate what little delusion i could through my lens.

from a Nebraskan girl's eyes, it merely looked at first like salt.

however, it quickly prove difficult on a bike.

it continued to fall even on the islands.

yet, some were less shaken by the great white coating.

and some found the secret to age old mysteries

and all of this, somehow before Christmas. how unnerving.

The folks in south Florida are having some similar experiences this week! Around here, as I'm sure you know, that pretty white stuff is much deeper!! :)
