First snow

The first snow this year came October 19th. A thick layer of soft, wet snow – in huge flakes. I’ve never seen that huge snowflakes in my life! This photo isn’t a very good illustration of the beautiful sight of yellow leaved birches being covered with the cold whipped cream, like illuminating the snow and giving it some of their colour in the grim autumn morning light. The best shots would’ve been available at the motor way – but I couldn’t stop there, especially not in that weather!
