It is early December, and winter is just like its real appearance in the Huairou district of Beijing Municipal, where I live. Winter is quite colorless here, with cold and strong winds from the north side, Russia, and Mongolia. But the natural beauty of the district is insane which can make your faded winter into a great season. You just need to have a sustainable nature with the boldness and an eagerness to explore nature through its beauty. Undoubtedly, nature will never calm you down, but it will thrill you and amaze you with the soothing views whenever you look at them.

There is a piece of information in our religious book that the people who enter into heaven will have a dress in the color green. Many people believe that if you look at the green natural scenic views more, then your eyesight will improve, and on the other hand, if you look at more brighter things or colors, your eyesight will decrease. I don't know all, but I feel much more comfortable looking at nature because green is always a soothing color compared to any other color I can find. Also, the blue sky, crystal watercolors, colorful stones, and everything natural are medicines for all types of mental and physical issues.

I am from Bangladesh, the weather in the tropical region is very hot throughout the year, with heavy humidity and a very short period of winter. The hot period is balanced by a heavy duration of monsoons, which rain every other day in most of the country. Now, I am living in a completely different weather, where winter is the longest season, with three freezing months from December to February. With the passage of time, winter is becoming more favorable to me with its own uniqueness with my adaptation to the weather.

Now, I can stay outside for longer in the freezing cold, which was very problematic in the initial days. So I can also enjoy outdoor activities this winter. Skiing has become one of my favorite winter sports, and I am eagerly waiting for my next skiing session in the coming month.

Before the coming snow when the lake water around this area will be frozen, I paid my last visit to the Yanqihu lake area, and this time, I have entered into the watery area where a tiny Island is located just adjacent to the lakeside damn reserve, the water throughout the year effectively. Though the woods were not so heavy, I could walk inside it, and from there, some stunning views of the lake were possible.

So, I didn't miss the opportunity to take dozens of shots from this island, which were much more attractive than my previous ones. This island is built to take a closer look at the whole lake, as the dam by the lakeside is not a good location to explore the whole area. The only thing that I was missing was a telephoto lens and a good DSLR.

Also, the weather was so good that day that the mountain ranges on the opposite side were clearly visible, and the hotels and resorts on the opposite side were clearly observable. Most importantly. The colorful leaves on some trees still make the water reflection a great piece of artwork in the lakeside views. This time, the rally of numerous electric towers in the mountains is visible, and the air quality is also very good. Most of the time these stunning views are not visible in the winter season.

Drone shots can be excellent in this area, but normally, it is not allowed here. However, with proper permission from the authorities, you can fly some kind of drone for footage. But I had no opportunity to do that. It required a lot of work here.

As winter comes, very few visitors are seen in this area, and I have seen no one paddling boats in the lake, which is a common scene in the lake in the spring, summer, or late summer. Instead of such excellent weather, very few tourists shocked me, as I expected more, as I have seen such heavy crowds in the lakeside area, which is the top two tourist spot in the Huairou district, just after the Great Wall, which is the top on the list.

On the other side, the mountains are becoming less green in the winter, defeating nature by turning them into dried monuments, especially the trees and grasses. The water seems to be darker today, which has taken my concentration. I think more plants inside the water are also dying, and the color is becoming darker. Other times I see it more clearly, but not today. Instead of the blue sky, the blue color is struggling to be brighter than summertime, which I explored.
