We begin behind our house, thats our satelite dish, we'll go to the left from here which south and away from the main road, we're going deeper into the yard so to speak, towards our greenhouses that you cannot see and walking next to them towards the forrest patch behind them and through the forrest patch.
We're now about 300 yards from the house, maybe less, and we've passed the greenhouses and gone through the forrest patch, following a ski track. This is the frozen lake, it is 6 kilometers by 3 kilometers at it's largest points. So far almost untouched, only a ski-track ruins the fresh snow. Later when things freeze even more this lake will have a racing course around the largest island where the local youths will drive with old beat up "ice-cars" for fun. Last year they managed to drive one to the point that a piston-head went flying through the engine.
Anyway here we see the northern shore, thats an old summerhouse there.
Looking ahead into the sun, took these with a sunset filter, looks nice I think:
Here are some general pictures of the surroundings shown from the ice:
Here's we are further out on the ice and this is my GF, Jasmin, looking like the yeti or something due to the lighting.
We've gone a mile or so now(not very far but theres lots of snow and its very cold), here's a new construction that one of our neighbors is building, mostly just a place to go and have a barveque, not a real summerhouse. We decide to go ashore here and head back on land because the path through the forrest doesn't really go much further.
Here we are back at one of the summer houses I mentioned, seen from the other side. It's getting darker now too, clock is maybe 15:30.
In the middle of this picture you can see a spring well, the water is perfectly drinkable, not that I'd take it over tap water mind you because I've seen frogs in it during summer.
Fast forwarding a bit, we've gone back following the northern shore now and taken a road that leads to the main road where I live, we're back out on the road and walking back, we can see our house through some trees from here.
I guess this qualifies as the center of the "village" in which I live.
And finally our house again, from an angle and straight ahead at last. But instead of going home we turn around and visit my grandmother. But this is where I stop taking pictures.
So that was the short walk we took through the local nature, we walked in a huge circle, starting from the back of our house and coming back on the main road. Nothing special but it shows the surroundings where I live.
