The snow that did last - part 4
Phew, I finally managed to select most my favourite snow photos and edit some of them, so brace yourselves for at least two more post of the snow that lasted about a week and it took it another week to melt very slowly. Sorry, I know that some of you are very tired of looking at snow, but it is something so rare and precious for me that I just had to document and share it.
So these are photos from just one day, 27 February:
My shadow next to a so not romantic path (the Municipality had not yet cleared a proper path on that section of the sidewalk, and other places were even worse, so walking around the neioghbourhood was a challenge).
One of those inevitable conifers: a Tuja tree with dangerous icicles in the background where the snow had melted a little:
The dangerous icicles themselves; it’s good that people weren’t expected to pass right under that side of the building as there is a tiny garden below. (That's a small restaurant/tavern place that was closed for repair at the time.)
Taking a turn. I couldn’t get any closer to those benches in the snow, so you only get to see them from a distance:
A little spot with no buildings for some mystery reason, along my older regular walking route (my current regular walking route was impassable in its purely pedestrian part):
This is greengrocer’s stall:
This is mostly a cafe that also doubles as a very modest restaurant when reserved for some small-scale event like a birthday party, if I have understood correctly how it works (but I’m not sure it even still works):
Just the tips of baby conifer trees that were planted last year:
Another Tuja tree; this one is my special favourite, but I couldn’t get a photo featuring the golden tips of its branches (it’s a special variety) in focus:
I think this is a juniper plant (in a small cleared section of that pedestrian route that I managed to reach from the other side):
Moving on to the next quarter: The cypresses in front of the post office there:
A very old children’s gazebo next to a café :
Nearing the bus/trolleybus stop:
And then I caught a trolleybus back home because I didn’t have the adventure of walking in the dark with all that snow on the ground.
