A quiet winter walk — frost, muted light, and snow kept neutral to preserve a calm, welcoming winter mood
Winter has its own rhythm. For me, it usually starts around mid‑November, when roads turn white not just from snow, but from salt — and riding outside slowly gives way to hours on the indoor trainer.

A distant silhouette settles on a lone tree as an early winter evening quietly fades
It was one of those early winter evenings when the light fades quickly. The air was still, the fields quiet and half asleep, caught somewhere between late autumn and winter. I wasn’t walking with a photograph in mind — just moving slowly through familiar ground near open fields, letting the evening settle in.
