Frozen trees and fog at the lake ... these photos are my personal favorites this winter.

Gefrorene Bäume und Nebel am See ... diese Fotos gehören zu meinen persönlichen Favoriten in diesem Winter.

Fog & Frost / Nebel und Frost
^{Linsendorfer See . Carinthia}

This picture with the two cormorants on the trees and the other two of these big birds in the water shows a lot of peace and quiet for me, and so was this morning at the lake.

Dieses Bild mit den beiden Kormoranen auf den Bäumen und den zwei weiteren dieser großen Vögel im Wasser strahlt für mich viel Ruhe und Frieden aus, und so war auch dieser Morgen am See.

The 12th of January 2020 was the only day this winter on which I was able to experience beautiful frost and fog at a lake. Therefore, these photos are among my absolute favorite pictures.

I've already posted some of the photos from that morning. Today I would like to show a few of the other pictures I have made that day.

Der 12. Jänner 2020 war der einzige Tag in diesem Winter, an welchem ich wunderschönen Frost und zugleich Nebel an einem See erleben durfte. Deshalb gehören diese Fotos zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsbildern.

Ein paar der Fotos von diesem Morgen habe ich bereits gepostet. Heute möchte ich noch ein paar der weiteren Bilder zeigen.

The frosty conifers in the background seem like observers, where the morning sun has apparently found a gap between the clouds and the fog.

Wie Beobachter scheinen die frostigen Nadelbäume im Hintergrund, wo die Morgensonne anscheinend eine Lücke zwischen den Wolken und dem Nebel gefunden hat.

Its hand compassionate guards our restless sight
Against how many a harshness, many an ill!
Tender as sleep, its shadowy palms distil
Weird vapors that ensnare our eyes with light.
Rash eyes, kept ignorant in their own despite,
It lets not see the unsightliness they will,
But paints each scanty fairness fairer still,
And still deludes us to our own delight.

It fades, regathers, never quite dissolves.
And ah that life, ah that the heart and brain
Might keep their mist and glamour, not to know
So soon the disenchantment and the pain!
But one by one our dear illusions go,
Stript and cast forth as time's slow wheel revolves.

Due to the thick fog in the background and the hoarfrost on the many different kinds of trees, the small peninsula looks even much prettier than usual. Some of the trees are even still full of autumn leaves.

Durch den dichten Nebel im Hintergrund und den Rauhreif auf den vielen verschiedenen Baumarten schaut die kleine Halbinsel noch viel hübscher aus als sonst. Einige der Bäume tragen sogar noch das volle Herbstlaub.

A Robin said: The Spring will never come,
      And I shall never care to build again.
A Rosebush said: These frosts are wearisome,
      My sap will never stir for sun or rain.
The half Moon said: These nights are fogged and slow,
I neither care to wax nor care to wane.
The Ocean said: I thirst from long ago,
      Because earth's rivers cannot fill the main.

When Springtime came, red Robin built a nest,
      And trilled a lover's song in sheer delight.
      Grey hoarfrost vanished, and the Rose with might
      Clothed her in leaves and buds of crimson core.
The dim Moon brightened. Ocean sunned his crest,
      Dimpled his blue, yet thirsted evermore.
