It is amazing how long periods of cold, snowy and gray days can really make you yearn for some blue sky. We had a lovely day on the weekend, but things seemed to conspire to keep us indoors. So now its back to snow and slush and gray. Fortunately, there aren't too many more months to go till spring.
The photo above was taken by Layne on the frozen Baltic beach at Warnemunde, near the mouth of the Warnow. I have never been on a beach in a snowy winter before, and it is quite odd to walk on hard, frozen sand. It was also a beautiful day, with some folks sailing large powerful kites and the sun gently setting in the West.
Growing up, I never thought I'd ever live on the Baltic coast, it was just one of those things that didn't even occur. For an Australian, the Baltic really does seem like another world away. I just wish it had a little less cloud; there is something wonderful about walking in parks and forests with blue sky above.
