Well. We definitely got some snow! The swans, ducks, geese, herons and even pheasants were out and about.

On our walk we also saw a bird of prey (a hawk I think) doing something I hadn't seen before, it was hovering, using the wind and flapping it's wings quite slowly to stay in the same spot. I guess there was a field mouse or something but it eventually gave up on whatever it was looking for and flew off.

An oil painting of a small rowing boat resting on frozen seashore ice. Tall brown reeds surround the boat, bending slightly in the winter air. The pale blue sky is streaked with soft clouds, and the scene conveys stillness, cold, and quiet waiting.

Eine Rohrdommel steht auf der Eisfläche eines zugefrorenen Sees. Das braun-beige gemusterte Gefieder hebt sich sanft von den kühlen Blautönen des Eises ab und harmoniert mit den trockenen Schilfhalmen im Vordergrund. Der Vogel hält den Schnabel leicht nach oben gerichtet – eine typische Tarnhaltung, die Ruhe, Konzentration und winterliche Stille ausstrahlt.

A bittern stands on the frozen surface of a lake. Its brown and beige patterned plumage contrasts gently with the cool blue tones of the ice and blends with the dry reeds in the foreground. The bird holds its bill slightly upward, a typical camouflage posture that conveys calm, focus, and winter stillness.

Still Morning

This spot lies on my cycling route to work. On this particular morning, without any wind to stir the waters, and with the just risen sun shining through a thin layer of mist, I just had to stop here. The conditions were too perfect to pass up this chance. Even without a proper camera, and with only a phone camera on me.

Soon, a few photography friends and I will be presenting each other our best shots of the past year. And with selecting your best shots, comes the dismissal of the ones you really like, but ultimately don't make the cut. I will be sharing those shots here, in chronological order. This is number 4 of 19.

A close-up, low-angle shot of tall blades of grass silhouetted against a bright, hazy sun. The sunlight bursts through the reeds, creating a soft glow. In the background, blurred rolling hills stretch out under a pale blue sky, evoking a sense of peaceful wilderness.

A metal sign on a wooden post, leaning to the left. The sign is triangle shaped with the base pointing upwards and a green border, and depicts a silhouette of an eagle on white ground with the German word "Naturschutzgebiet" ("Nature Preserve"). The foregound is obscured by blurred reeds. The background, a clearing in the forest, is also slightly blurred, both by the camera and a layer of fog.

The image depicts a solitary figure sitting in the bow of a canoe on calm waters. The individual appears to be navigating or resting within the boat, surrounded by tall reeds and grasses that reach up towards them from either side. It is rendered as a black-and-white photograph, conveying a somber mood with its dark tones against the reflective water surface. In the background, there's an overcast sky suggesting it might have been taken during or after dusk when light was limited.
The absence of color and presence of high contrast emphasize textures such as the smoothness of the canoe’s shape, the silken quality of reeds in their still life state, and ripples on water. The photograph is labeled with an alphanumeric code (x3192-0) at the bottom left corner which could serve to identify it among a collection or series.
The atmosphere created by this composition might evoke feelings of solitude, introspection, connection with nature, or reflection upon one's actions within such a setting.

Ein leuchtend blau-orangefarbener Eisvogel sitzt seitlich auf einem schräg verlaufenden Schilfhalm. Um ihn herum stehen dichte, beige Schilfstängel und mehrere federige Schilfwedel; rechts dominiert ein großer, herabhängender Fruchtstand. Die ruhigen Naturfarben des Hintergrunds lassen den Vogel besonders stark hervorstechen und erzeugen eine stille, winterliche Moor- oder Uferstimmung.

A vivid blue-and-orange kingfisher is perched sideways on a slanted reed stem. It is surrounded by dense, pale-beige reeds and several feathery seed heads, with a large drooping plume dominating the right side. The muted tones and soft background make the bird stand out strongly, creating a calm, wintry wetland or riverside atmosphere.
