Winter walks. Equal parts beauty and bad decisions. One minute you’re cursing your life choices as the cold bites harder than your ex’s insults, and the next, you’re staring at a sunset so stunning it feels like nature’s way of apologizing for the frostbite. This walk? Prime example. Armed with my Fujifilm X-T2 and fingers slowly turning into icicles, I somehow managed to capture some magic.
It started with wind turbines basking in the golden glow of a low winter sun. These guys were stealing the show, slicing through the hazy light like giant, eco-friendly samurai. The trees below? Silent spectators—probably plotting their revenge for being upstaged. The sun, meanwhile, was all dramatic lens flares and soft halos, like it was auditioning for a soap opera. Cue the first shot: a moody masterpiece of turbines, trees, and a sun that probably deserves its own fan club.
Then, the ducks showed up. Gliding through a canal that looked like someone had melted gold and poured it everywhere, they were the picture of calm. Literally. They swam, I clicked, and we all pretended my fingers weren’t screaming for gloves. The trees above mirrored their bare branches in the water, making the whole scene look like a surreal painting. If ducks could talk, these two would’ve told me to chill—pun intended—and just enjoy the vibe. Spoiler: I did.
But let’s not romanticize it too much. By the time I hit the long stretch of road beside the canal, the cold had me questioning every life choice I’d ever made. The path stretched on forever, my toes were AWOL, and the sky? Oh, the sky was straight-up laughing at me, throwing down layers of oranges, blues, and pinks so pretty it made the freezing misery feel… almost worth it. Almost.
And then came the finale. The sunset decided to go full-blown dramatic on me, painting the sky and canal in colors so rich they could bankrupt an art supply store. The water mirrored the fiery hues, turning the scene into something out of a fantasy novel. I snapped away, grinning like an idiot, because how often does nature serve you something this good? Not often enough.
By the time I got home, my face was frozen, my hands were useless, and I was 90% sure I’d lost a toe. But as I flipped through the shots, I knew it was worth every frosty step. Winter walks are brutal, but they’re also brilliant. So, bundle up, grab a camera, and get out there. Just maybe bring gloves. Trust me on that one.
