There is so much to gaze upon during the winter season. While most are cocooned in their homes, waiting for spring, others, myself included, feel the need to venture out and see what the season has to offer. The images in this post were taken during different times, from many locations in the region where I live, but they have one thing in common: winter skies.

Winter skies can be fresh, crisp and clear, with the soft light blue punctured by icy sun rays that somehow never bring the heat to the earth.
On the other side, winter skies are messy, busy and eventful with lots of movement and a blue sky veiled by a soft white cloud bank and proud puffy clouds dotted over it.
Lastly, winter skies are damp and still. The complete opposite of the first type. No blue sky, no sun. Just a mysterious white cloud bank, that engulfs the landscape and swallows the sun, which is trying to peak from underneath.
From blue to white, from clear to full, winter skies have their charm and specific look. Right now we are enjoying a mixture of all, white heavy winter weather in the morning, and bright skies during the day. Thank you all for stopping by!
beautiful skies! (and these loaded really quickly for me today!)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read that!
DeleteThese are really pretty, Mersad. The last shot is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them.
DeleteBeautiful, snowy captures for the day, Mersad!! I My favorite, too, is the last shot, but they're all a wonderful look at your winter!! Excellent!! Hope your week is going well!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteA pretty comprehensive set. I like winter. The light always seems better than in summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's different, let's put it that way. You can find charm in both I think.
DeleteMother nature gives us a variety of skies through the year and your winter ones are just magnificent.....Your city looks so pretty bathed in snow....
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Thanks so much Nancy for visiting.
DeleteI love the 3rd and last photos!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is perfection, Mersad. Can't say I've ever seen the sky look like that before. Love the last shot, too.
ReplyDeleteOh ja Mersad, da kann ich dir nur zustimmen. Auch diese Zeit bietet wundervolle Motive und man muss nur richtig hinschauen. Du hast es wundervoll in Szene gesetzt und mit deinen schönen Fotos bewiesen.
ReplyDeleteHerzliche Abendgrüsse
Nova
Danke für deinen Besuch.
Deletethe last one is my favorite... so beautiful but number 3 is close... i love that little red building in number 3 and all those wonderful houses in the last one. we live in a totally flat state, we can only see a few houses at one time and that means your photos amaze me.... the sky in the first one is awesome
ReplyDeleteThe landscapes are varied here, from the flat north to the high south. Lots of different nature too.
DeleteI am totally blown away at the combination here of photographs and your thoughts. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteI will call you, "Sky King." Love the photos. You have such wonderful material to work with as far as buildings and scenery. Keep up the blog going. People may not comment but I am sure they are enjoying your photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Patty. I appreciate that a lot.
DeleteBTW, that last photo is perfection.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That is the last frontier to the east of Sarajevo, the capital city.
DeleteThese almost look like paintings. The winter sky is a mix of blue and white here today.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
Deletelike this serie Mersad! this is winter!
ReplyDeleteevery season has its charms, isn't it!

ReplyDeleteMe too. Especially in fresh snow.
DeleteWow. Mother nature sure knows how to create art.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting.
DeleteGorgeous! I love the third, fourth, and last photos! Very scenic.
ReplyDeleteI especially like that last picture, Mersad. Did I say we had no snow yet.... I was wrong, though at this stage it is just a trickle.
ReplyDeleteHope it didn't spawn into a massive snowfall. I know you don't like it. :)
DeleteReally pretty Mersad! I love the city covered in snow.
ReplyDeleteImpressive winter pics.

ReplyDeleteja so ein Blau findet man nur im Winter - sanft und doch kühl, klar und doch von Schattierungen gefüllte Luft!
Ich liebe solche Wintereindrücke (...wir haben seit Tagen Schneestürme - leider nicht so leicht festzuhalten ... auch schön)!
Liebe Grüße von Senna
Danke Senna. Liebe Grüße zurück.
DeleteWonderful grouping! I love the shots of the cold sun, and the cold sleepy town beneath it, covered in a frosty sky! Beautiful captures!
