It’s a bit early to say, but the day these pictures were shot might have been the last day of winter for now…
Of course, winter has its ways and can suddenly come back to surprise us all – weeks after we’d all forgotten that it ever existed. Anyway: one day I was on my way to slavery work as usual and as I was looking out the bus window, I noticed that ice crystals had attached themselves on the branches of our friends: the trees. I thought to myself that this might be the last opportunity to capture this scene on film (or on memory card) for a while, so I got off the bus and took some photos (you never want to miss out on a great opportunity, right?).
Enjoy the gallery:
Not that you’ll remember (or really care), but I’ll probably post some more photos from this “last day of winter” in a few days or so…

Great gallery! 🙂
Thank you
Nice captures, CG. Thanks for getting off the bus early, so that I could see the ice crystals. 🙂
As they say: early bird catch the worm.
Hey! Some great images here. Ah yes, the last days of winter (-:
I’m starting to look forward to spring now.
Last day of winter? That’s what they said here too and it keeps snowing every other day… lovely photos nonetheless!
…technically it’s March 19 but in my reality it’s more like May 19…
Yes, I’m not so sure that this is actually the last day of winter, that’s why I threw in the question mark. Today it’s cold again, but the winter is definitely declining. 😀
and now up up and away to Rome:
to elect the next Pope!
I would probably be the most lively pope ever 🙂
Lovely shots!
Thanks Tina!
Beautiful! Everything looks so peaceful and untouched. Your photos gave me chills! I can feel the ice… ack!
It might not look that way, but it was actually a mild day.
Love the beautiful black and white winter scenes.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks Francine. They’re not actually black and white, it’s just the winter that makes them look that way.
Sexcellent!!!! I love the little details!! And the way you play with the DOF!
(Thanks for the pingback!)
Thanks. The devil is in the details 🙂
🙂
Looking at your pics it seems it is the best looking season 🙂
I think it is, but unfortunately it’s also the coldest season (it’s a bitch to shoot in, because your fingers turn fucking cold) and it’s not so nice when it all starts to melt and turns into brown slush. Also, let me quote Frank Zappa:
Bonita Galería, Algunas Fotografías Son Muy Hermosas…Un Saludo
Hjertelig takk. Flott å få en kommentar på spansk 🙂
The detail of the ice crystals is beautiful, all those little spiky hairs made me shiver!
It looks colder than it is, but it actually turned out to be mild weather that day and in the afternoon the ice was gone from the trees.

Excellent series, Cardinal!
Thank you Gracie.
This is a great gallery, I really like the ice crystals. Interesting because I was looking at your newer post, Sagene Kirke #3 first, and I wouldn’t have connected these two scenes if you hadn’t.
Lovely photos ! 🙂
What a fantastic set of photos, Cardinal! Maybe you should walk home more often. I adore the serenity in these photos. Oh, and yay bokeh!
Soon I’ll start riding my bike again and then I’ll definitely take more photos on my way around the city.
Have you found that by turning off likes you get more of either views or comments? I know that a lot of likes come right out of the reader without anyone viewing the post.
I’m not sure if I get more views or not because of the like button, but I don’t think that it affects the statistics. I get more views now than what I did before, but that’s because I have more followers now.
I think I get more comments without the like button: if people wants me to know that they’ve been here, they’ll have to write something.
Good details; always the details.
