The weather was really tough. It rained alot recently and the day it was raining a bit too. So it was not only wet but it was super humid.

(Except for the one where everyone gets the finger trying to cross the bridge...)

Did a little wintery, snowy hiking after some time... with my friends near my hometown. Went to local small mountains up to the top mountain. This year is pretty warm winter, so I acted fast while there is a lot of snow and looks like a fairy tale. I wanted some nice winter hiking photos, so I took my trusty old Canon. There was a lot of ski runners too. The best thing was up there - the lookout tower - it was surreal how nature formed incredible snow crystals. Really pretty. Weather was pretty good. Very windy up top tho. Usuall temp was around -5C (ca 20F).

Well, you got them!
I liked your four legged hiking buddies but keep the short-legged guy out of the deep snow.
Also really liked the wooden shelter with the half-log bench and table.
The snow blown and frozen onto the walls and ceiling of the mountain top structure is also very 'cool'
Thanks for sharing!

thanks for appreciating it :)
that short legged is pretty long, he can peak out in case of emergency :D

Tables like that are quite common at the hiking trails so the hikers can rest and get some snack. its nice. Some of them are humble, some are really nice and even quite big.

Fantastic photos! Each one is art. Interesting how they are almost black and white.
