Got about six inches of wet, heavy snow overnight. A bit unusual for Freising at any time of year, but I’m Not Impressed, I’m From Iowa (plus there was that time we had 18″, it’s never going to be that good again). So I went for a morning walk, just around my neighborhood, before it all melted off.
This is the first time in six months I have had my “real camera” out. I need to do that more often. It still has some problems with the white balance that I do not understand.
Except for some cropping, these photos are unprocessed. That’s how I rolled twenty years ago and I feel no need to change now.
(No one needs the metric system.)
Since the snow was so wet, it held together in interesting shapes on rails, fences, and other objects.
I know y’all are just here for my witty captions.
St. Norbert. The fountain is covered up for the winter.
Two views of St. Peter and Paul. You can see the cloud cover thinning (it hasn’t gone away).
If this next photo was technically better, I could post it in the Freisinger Fotos FB group with a “Freising ist so wunderschön”-style caption, even though I’m pretty sure this view and caption combo have been posted 137 times before. People love that stuff.
…but here’s what it actually looks like when you walk by the beautiful photo:
And when you look a little closer:
*off the soapbox*
I took several dozen pictures of trees, but instead of boring you with them all at once, I will spread them out over multiple posts. Muahahaha.
In all seriousness, you could spend a whole lifetime noticing all the ways each tree is shaped differently than his neighbors, the branches forming different patterns.
Some more color:
I also took literally dozens of photos of this fence/retaining wall. Most of them were unusable. Establishing shot first:
I’ve often thought my phone has better white balance than my “real camera” but it seems I am wrong:
Sigh. Anyway, I’ll close this one out with some humor:
