Winter coming

Today was a cold day, below freezing. No rain, and no snow either. At the nearby lake the first ice started to form this evening. Smaller ponds had already an ice cover.

It was completely still, and no clouds, so this night will be quite cold. But tomorrow will be warmer, and we will get rain once again. Later this week it is forecasted that the temperature will drop again.

I like below zero weather. Unfortunately, snow is probably not going to appear yet this week.

I used a mini-tripod to take long exposures with the LX3. Having a bigger tripod would make it easier to find a good spot for photography, but as I have mentioned earlier, I like to walk light.
