Winter is here with bitter cold temperatures far below zero, a biting northeastern wind, not much snow (but better than nothing) and sunny conditions.
Perfect weather for me to make a hike.
This landscape shot shows the snow covered swampy peat moors of ‘Hohes Venn’.
‘Hohes Venn’ is the greatest (4500 ha) and oldest National Park of Belgium and the most unique nature biotope in the land.
The whole area is vast and desolate. It consists mainly of swamps which can only be traversed by using the wooden paths that were made by the local foresters.

The hike goes on, very far into the frozen swamp........
I wonder how many kilometers you covered over these wooden paths? It must have been an excting hike but -15 .... so cold! And worthwhile of the beautiful pictures you managed to take.
Bw, Viola
-15°? brrrr, that's cold! but walking in the sun with no wind to speak of makes it bearable and even pleasant (at least for a while… ; )) a spectacular winter impression of the hohes venn once again, mark! beautifully composed with the path leading our view off into the depth of the shot! greetings, sabine.
Hier gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut, dass sich Schneeflächen mit Flächen, die durch die Pflanzen Farbe und Struktur haben, abwechseln! Der Steg führt wunderbar durchs Moor und der blaue Himmel macht die Aufnahme zu was ganz besonderem!
Every view different, every view giving a great idea of the beauty of this landscape - especially in Winter. Well mastered light with these contrasts of snow and darker landscape !!!
greetings, Adele
Your latest hike series is definitely another step in improving the idea I had so far about nature in Belgium.
The wide angle perspective is strongly suggestive of open spaces which we do not naturally imagine in or associate with your country.
As to the relative cold, I only regret that it puts a strain on camera electronics at times. The old analog workhorses still perform without missing a beat. I keep enjoying daily hikes and/or bike rides, accepting the windchill factor. It's only a matter of dressing right after all IMHO.
