There was still some light snow when we set out on a eight mile walk on a small path through the woods. When we reached the fields surrounding the neighboring village of Gedine a couple of hours later, the sky began to clear and some patches of blue sky began to appear.
Walking through the snow like this is pretty exhausting - especially when you’re not used to it - but we were rewarded by breathtaking scenery.
Me and my camera were having the time of our life. It was as if we were walking through a Christmas card … pretty pictures everywhere.
By the end of the afternoon we decided to make a shortcut by following the big road. By then we were really getting tired. The road had never seemed so long …
White snow, … blue skies and fluffy clouds to add a little drama. Beautiful isn’t it?
When we finally reached our hotel we were near exhaustion. Looking at the pictures now I think it was well worth the aching muscles and sore feet.

It is beautiful scenery! I just keep looking at them, love them all, especially the drama in the 4th shot. Now you can sit your feet up and relax!
Enjoyed your pictures, especially the ones with the blue sky. I have seen that blue sky in the Dutch paintings of winter landscapes from the 17th century. Now I know where they got the icy blue sky. They were masters of color mixing.
Stunning, that sky is amazing, you were right, it was worth it!!!

stunning scenes!!
Gorgeous!
Wonderful shots! They make me want to go take some pictures before the snow from last night melts away.
I love your photos, beautiful sceneries!
I am just at a loss for words.
I think I would have missed that beauty because I would have thought, "Eight miles?!" No way! Thanks for letting me live vicariously today.
Haven't done this for ages and ages and ages! What a good feeling to be tired after such a walk in such a glorious scenery! And you're lucky: my camera refuses to work when it's too cold
Beautiful skies over the road and snowy fields.
I love big fields of fluffy snow and blue skies across a winter field.
Lovely, Jientje,just wonderful!
what a lovely walk--and blue is my favorite color, especially a blue sky
Each picture just gets prettier than the last. What a wonderful walk! I should do the same.
Gorgeous. I think the photos are worth the aching muscles.

Oh, what beautiful scenes you captures, especially that last one! But eight miles? Are you INSANE??? Were you not freezing your ears off?
Good for you, seriously. We should all make the effort to enjoy the white stuff while it's here.
