Winter Light


When On
A Winter's Day

a traveler ...

...leaves a symphony of grey
to reach a place

where gentle winter sun
has splurged

on dusty pink,
and yellow hues

against
a faintly periwinkle sky.

Photographed
in the late afternoon
of 13 January 2010
St. Pölten
Lower Austria
40 miles west of Vienna

  8. Magical words Merisi. I like the way you spin words into pictures.

  9. Ah excusez-moi Merisi but is it me or does the traveller look a bit snobbish? ;-)
    I do love the hat. I shall be delighted to accompany the traveller!

  10. Put me on the list right behind Britt-Arnhild! You should SO be published!!! You've captured the cold but sunny winter day in Austria. One can feel the dry, brisk temperature in these photos. Glad to see the sun shining in your part of the world today, too! It's going to be about 65 degrees today in Dallas....highly unusual. Most of my birthdays it is cold, grey, and wet. Today we have the doors open. :D
    Happy Monday,
