Cologne Snow

Behold, O Muse, the great city of Cologne in Germany at night, cloaked in a rare snowfall as rare as the appearance of a comet in the heavens. The city was transformed into a winter realm of wonder, and I could not resist capturing the beautiful scenes with my image-maker. Walking through the snow-covered streets, the city felt almost magical as the lands of enchantment visited by heroes in the ancient tales. The stillness was punctuated only by the sound of snow crunching beneath my boots like the breaking of dry twigs in a quiet forest.

Intricate network of tree branches against a cloudy sky.

It was a peaceful and serene experience, one that I shall always remember as a sailor remembers a fair voyage. In the month of December, two thousand and twelve.

A snow-covered tree with branches outlined by heavy snowfall, set against a dark sky in black and white.

Snow-covered tree branches at night, illuminated by a distant light source.

A solitary figure walking down a snow-covered path between tall trees with bare branches, illuminated by lampposts in a winter landscape.

A person waits at a snow-covered bus stop with benches, trees, and buildings in background.

Snowy street at night with people walking, illuminated by warm window lights and street lamps.

Snow falling at night, illuminated by streetlights.
