dieastraI took some more snow pictures today!
This was the view that greeted me when I stood up in the morning. Apparently it had snowed through the night.
This is what it looks like when you actually can see something:
And then I did something useful with the snow on my balkony. It was supposed to become a camel, but because of its sturdy legs and short neck, I thought it rather looks like a turtle, so I quickly adapted and made it what it clearly wanted to be LOL

Date: 2013-02-24 10:17 pm (UTC)btw, you probably know this but just in case: stay away from trees when it snows. the weight of the snow can cause branches to suddenly snap. we've had deaths in parks this way.

Date: 2013-04-06 03:50 pm (UTC)Yes, they write about that in the newspaper when it is dangerous. We have a wood nearby the city where it is great to have a winter walk, but when there is too much snow on the branches then the way get closed down.
But the weirdest death goes to the guy whose hand was frozen to the handle at a stairway (apparently he wasn't wearing gloves), and apparently he could not free himself, and since it was very cold that night he froze to death. Isn't that awful? :(

2) I LOVE your snow turtle. Very creative!
3) Turtles and tortoises are both reptiles. Turtles spend most of their life in the water and tortoises spend their life on land. They have adaptations for their respective lives. This is really the only difference that I know between the two.

Date: 2013-02-25 12:18 am (UTC)Are those buildings across the way apartments?
no subject
Date: 2013-03-28 11:05 pm (UTC)Those buildings are apartments indeed. In fact, it's where I used to live before and my parents still live there. In between there is a soccer place and also some gardens.
Here are a few picture what those buildings would look like from close up - backside and front side with balkonies: http://www.dresden-architekt.de/iwb0.html
If you remember my mail about living in the GDR, these are the concrete buildings I refered to. They are made from concrete slabs which already had the window inside for example. Also the bathroom was a complete cell which just got hooked on the crane - that way they could erect buildings very quickly, as lots of people lived in cramped spaces. One concrete slab was a whole wall.
Six floors, two apartments on each floor, and when you visited a friend you felt at home immediately as the layout was always the same. Only one way where to put the sofa and where the wall of cupboards ;) In the beginning, they also all had the same wallpaper, before people did their own.
If you have any more questions I'm happy to answer them!

Date: 2013-03-28 10:23 pm (UTC)Na Du kannst grade reden! Vor ein paar Tagen hab ich die NDR-Nachrichten gesehen, da war sogar der Schneepflug steckengeblieben und musste von einem Schaufelradbagger ausgebaggert werden...
Und ein paar arme Kölner, bei denen es 15 Grad plus hat, sind auf dem Weg zum Campingplatz am Meer auch vom Schnee überrascht worden... Nein, so macht das wirklich keinen Spaß.

Date: 2013-03-03 03:41 pm (UTC)I kept being tempted to do snow things.. but somehow only when I was on my way to do something else...

Date: 2013-03-09 04:15 pm (UTC)Aw, would've been nice to see some work of others. You have to catch the right window when you actually can do something with the snow, because usually it's too fluffy. So it needs to be thawing already.
