A Winter’s Tale

On a Christmas Eve past, the skies were clear with just a few fluffy clouds and a flurry of snow lay on the hills, so I set off to pretty Lake Rieg, one of my favourite haunts south of Munich. Located near the picturesque Bavarian town of Murnau.

As the sun set behind me the frozen lake and snow-covered alpine landscape were bathed in a warm light. Crispy frozen snowflakes stood out pale pink against the smooth blue ice of the lake.

Nearby, families were skating and sledging, laughing and chatting, enjoying the last moments of light before heading home to their yuletide festivities.

Alpine Reflections

It was a beautiful but very cold winter’s day and I took the train south of Munich for an afternoon stroll along the shores of frozen Lake Schlier (Schliersee). The lake was icy and the still surface seemed like a sheet of glass reflecting the snow-clad peaks of the Bavarian Alps surrounding the lake. The low sun lit up the golden reeds near the shore, adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise cool scene.

It was an attractive and very peaceful setting, just perfect for a brisk walk, but the air was crisp and I was packed up warmly in a thick jacket, woolly hat, boots and gloves.
