correct name: Winter Edition III - blizzard of hope

This picture makes me speechless. It's a sense of pleasure to show it. In my eyes this picture bundling loneliness, fate and strength in one picture. It's an photography but it looks like a painting. Hard to describe ... I'm very proud!

That's one of the moment i could cry and laugh in one moment ... this picture confused me ... I was sitting in my car and looked into the forest aisles. I was fascinated, the snow seems more than a meter deep and fleecy. An old man hiked with small steps into this "hole".

He was really very, very old. His face was full of pleats of wisdom. I griped my cam, but I didn't dared to photograph the old man. There was too much respect. I was sitting in my warm car and he fought against nature ... No way!

It seems that the trees swallowed up the old man. I could'nt believe this. A shiver ran down my spine. I stared ... and stared ... the motive was so wonderful ... i really couldn't believe this ... sometime I pushed the button and made this highkey-picture... a wonderful moment ...

Sorry for my bad english. I hope you enjoy -> No! I hope you love it!
