The valleys already are a brownish green with Hazelnut-signs of spring (I can tell from my itching nose and sore eyes) but above 1000m winter does not want to give in yet. As this crisp air is more pollen-free, I thoroughly enjoy it.
And being able to create another Landscape (genre-wise) image that includes the human presence and avoids the only too easy horizontal-format-with-blue-sky-above trap was another benefit of this excursion with the family.
The lines, patterns, shadows, tracks work very very well together.
