The snow that did last - part 5
Now join me for a walk to the new park on the next day, 28 February. it would have been a very enjoyable walk if it wasn’t so cold - or if I had put on my thicker winter coat, but I was fooled by the warmer weather on the way before. Yes, I’m so not used to heavy winters in my home town…
You are lucky that I didn’t actually walk all the way to the park and take more photos in the process, but you still get to see a couple from near my bus/trolleybus stop:
No escape from the conifers: that Tuja plant opposite the supermarket that got so much attention in one of my first serious-snow posts. It was covered with even more snow now, so I was worried that it might suffer some damage under its weight, but it didn’t.
Poor bench in the middle of all that snow:)
Abd poor garbage bin. :)
And now that I’m off the trolleybus, let’s walk into the park (and look at another snow-covered conifer, of cours):
Look how deep the snow was next to the cleared path (and some of it had even managed to stay on the benches here):
Footsteps under a row of cypress and Tuja trees:
… and just footsteps:
My favourite photo of that day: the bridge between the two sections of the pond:
The peafowl enclosure (nobody there in winter):
My own feet:
The fountain with the multi-coloured lights:
Somebody had made a very primitive snowman; his base was carved into the snow, with some more snow amassed and compressed on top to finish the body, which was easier than trying to build a big ball out of this kind of snow:
Thos wooden platforms in front are normally above the pond (which was emptied for the winter, so there was only snow inside. And the same bridge, and that new Chinese (or Japanese) style mystery structure that I don’t like at all:
I was a little worried about this mysterious exotic plant, but it survived:
It even had mysterious berries:
And now let’s finish with conifers again (and one of the gazebos barely visible behind them).
