Delightful winter landscapes

Winter can be both beautiful and harsh - snow and ice covering most of our hemisphere in winter are a transformative force that has no equal.

And although many may hate the cold, do not forget that winter is a necessary part of our life cycle - very soon these landscapes frozen in ice will be full of life again. Most plants and animals have adapted to the changing seasons, and the icy grip of winter allows them to migrate or hibernate. And some tree seeds, such as acorns, will germinate at all only if they have spent the whole winter in cold ground.

So let's make the most of this cold but enchantingly beautiful season! Wrap yourself in your favorite blanket, grab a cup of fragrant hot coffee or tea and enjoy the most beautiful winter landscapes in the world.
