sky over bavaria

maybe it’s local patriotism only, but we bavarians are convinced that the sky over bavaria is something special, and so we do have the colors blue and white in our flag. a late winter evening, with the air on the brink of carrying the scent of rich soil, still not able to do so because of the partial snow cover, and with the winds having carried away the smoke and fog, suddenly can add a certain transparency (i lack a better word for this) and the sky develops that rich and warm blue, dotted with some feather like clouds just to make the blue and whites glow even more. and then one can forget for a moment being in a chatting crowd, just savoring these wonderful seconds.
