My #Wednesday Walk in White

in #hive-1555303 years ago

Hi Hivers,

I am glad to share with you a white and refreshing story for the #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay.

What a miracle. Yesterday finally it started to snow and everything turned white. And what a better opportunity to walk and take a few pictures to share with you:)
Last week I did my walk in the park nearby and the weather was more spring-like, the colors more appropriate to autumn - yellow, orange, and brown. With temperatures of 15 degrees Celsius and bright sunshine, I had little hope of seeing snow in South-East Bulgaria. You can check the story from last Wednesday in my blog.

And when I was totally desperate that this winter would pass without snow, yesterday everything has turned white. Оh, how beautiful is nature now. And what a better opportunity to relieve my soul of the depression of gloomy weather and rain.

I decided to pop over to the neighboring city of Haskovo and to climb the highest point and city landmark - The monument of the Holy Mother of God. This is also the place from where, in clear weather, almost the whole city can be seen. I put on my thickest clothes, my tallest shoes, took a warm hat (still no need for gloves), grabbed my camera, and left excited.
I parked my car at the lowest point of the city center and started the climb up the stairs. The walk in the snow was cold and wet, but very energizing. The only trickier thing was taking pictures without getting the camera lens wet. I had to wipe it down a few times, but my efforts produced a very nice result.

The falling snowflakes were gentle, soft, and pleasant. The gloomy city turned white and everything became so beautiful. The chimneys were smoking, or at least the ones that were still on solid fuel. Now I'm thinking how much I miss the scent of burnt wood. Some might say smell or stink, but for me, it is a pleasant scent that will always remind me of the village of my grandparents where I grew up.
I walked carefully on the whitened stairs. The only thing I wanted was to feel the snow on my face and breathe in the fresh air that felt like it had been cleared of the dust of city traffic.

I hope you will enjoy my two hours walk as much as I enjoyed it.

And the white dots on some pictures are not dust or spots, but falling snowflakes :)

How beautiful nature is like you said :) I never see the snow in real life but I hope I can travel to another country for having snow experience :)

Thank you, @anggreklestari. I wish you could be able to see and feel snow in your hands in the near future🙏😁

Something so special about the first snow fall and you got a good walk in and greta images, love them all but the fun faces in the snow made me smiles
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Thank you so much, @tattoodjay, for your kind words and for joining me on my walk in one of the most beautiful cities in Southeast Bulgaria. As a newbie, it's a pleasure for me to publish my second post in this wonderful community and I can't wait until next Wednesday to share my next walk.

Glad your enjoying joining in the fun of the Wednesday Walk :)
