Description
The previous evening it had snowed while we were celebrating. A Dutch friend of my nephews, a Nato soldier stationed at Oberammergau, had returned the previous evening from Holland with some commercial-sized fireworks. At midnight, with still some snow flurries, the fireworks were launched. I have never seen fireworks the size of this stuff. Over night it cleared up and the temperature dropped.
This morning the temperature was -4F (-20C) and in the foreground can be seen some of the lauchsites of the previous night.
This picture was taken on January 1, 2008 from in front of my bedroom window of my cousin Gundi's house in Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany.

No one is any the wiser they thought you were shooting at overhangs to make safe avalanches.

Beautiful shot, Sig! The view is beautiful, and I love that unbroken expanse of snow beyond the fence. I hope I don't wake up to this scene in the morning! I like to look at snow, but not to be out in it.

@auntietk. Tara, I went to Oberammergau for Christmas and New Years in 2005/2006 and again in 2007/2008. Both times it was snowing frequently the time I was there, and it was cold. This coupled with the traditions they have, dating back centuries, it was wonderful. But I am like you, I wouldn't want to have to deal this all the time. But I am from Phoenix, it was very exiting, including driving on snowy and icy roads. Another thing, I am a non-practicing Catholic. Usually don't go to church, but while there we went Christmas Eve, Christmas Day in Oberammergau, also went to Kloster Ettal. And I enjoyed it. It is all about traditions! Sig..

I can't think of a more romantic setting (Oberammergau) for the idyllic scene and the remnants of the fireworks resemble dead tree trunks so in step with the harshness and beauty of the snow. Excellent capture!

Beautiful scene Sig. My family and I visited Kloster Ettal some years ago. I recall buying a bottle of Klosterliqueur from a jolly monk who just might have been sampling his wares for awhile before we made our purchase :-) Gorgeous area. I've also done my first and only cross country skiing there...lots of trails. Bill
