Description

While I keep walking eastwards I enter Oberried, a village bordering this lake with a fantastic vista. Another tree filled with mistletoe draws my attention. Although it's a parasite I've never seen trees really suffering of it by the minor theft of nutrients. This tree has a nice age yet and the mistletoes closest to the stem of the tree are pretty old (and big) too. The sun is shining abundantly but cirrus clouds announce the change of weather. To prevent the wide angle effect warping the vertical lines around the center I have postworked this capture by applying the perspective transformation in Photoshop. Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 28 mm and postworked) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

It does look cold. The open sky and bright sun challenge the body to choose between shelter and exposure. No snow impededs progress. One can breeze right through or stop and try to make oneself understood.
