Winter christmas wonderland Harz mountains

The first real winter landscapes with lots of snow and temperatures around-10 degrees celsius. I really enjoyed these days and landscapes.

In my experience temperature’s colder than -5 degrees celsius can really change the living in a car. Of course I’m using the diesel heater in there cabin of Rosinante more if it gets colder. What is more different parts of Rosinante can get frozen: the water in the additional waterproof canisters mounted to the outside of the cabin, windshield wipers, doors, fuel filters, locks… It’s always good to take care of everything made of rubber.

Visiting my friends and family for the last time for several years felt weird. When I normally say good bye to someone I meet, I’m not thinking much about it. It’s just it and we will meet again sometime soon or later. But this time it will be much later.

Tiny frozen empires under your feet

When the ground in the forests had frozen, little frozen empires have been created. I can easily imagine how little creatures are living in these frozen empires/ castles. Like little fairies or little dwarfs.

I like to find little things like this while hiking.
