Clouds parted

We had a change in weather this night, as the clouds parted and the dark winter sky became visible. This morning we had a little bit of snow, but that disappeared in hours. It seems that the next days will be colder, a bit below freezing, so the ground may dry up a bit. At least I hope so, there is now mud everywhere.

I did only a little photography today. We went for a short walk during the evening, when it was still raining a bit. But then the sky cleared, and I managed to take a couple of photos where the night sky was visible. The clouds are more colorful in the photos than in reality, although you could guess at the red color from the slight tint visible to the eye.

I'm getting extremely sleepy, because of the short sleep last night. But going to bed early will cure that problem. It is fortunate that some things are sometimes relatively easy to fix.

Update: I added another photo from the walk this evening. It was nice to see the sky and the stars. A welcome change - most days have been overcast this winter.

Update 2: It is interesting how the net connects in surprising ways. I noticed that DigitalFotoNetz was linking to Light Scrape, and went to have a look at the discussion forums. There seems to be some interest in the LX3 in Germany (as well as here in Finland on a similar forum). I managed even to practice my badly rusted German there, although it was quite difficult to remember the right phrases. On the other hand, at school I had the opposite problem, mixing German with Swedish so that I had trouble answering in Swedish examinations. For some reason German "overrode" Swedish in my head. But in any case: Gute Nacht!
