Uphill

These kids were heading home after a day out sledding in the park. Needless to say it was the parents who were doing the hard work.

Meeting

In Westpark some of the more tender plants are wrapped against the cold of winter. I came across this group and thought it looked like a gathering of strange creatures.

Whatever You're Doing, Stop It!

These signs appear around every frozen stretch of water in the winter. Counter to the stereotype of Germans that many of us have, most people ignore these signs and go out on the ice anyway.

Heading Home

After the thaw we have returned to freezing temperature and more snow. This was one of a few pictures I took during a walk around the city last night before my fingers froze up. Must get some photographers' gloves.

Over the Bridge

A couple stop to feed the ducks in the lake. At least they still have some clear water to swim in. It's hard to see at this size, but the woman on the left is looking on sternly.
