I don’t do a lot of traveling in winter. It’s too easy to get delayed or cancelled flights due to the Canadian winters. The few times I have ventured out in mid-winter were not to destinations away from the cold but to England where it wasn’t always a lot warmer. Still, over there, the grass is still green in January even if covered in a dusting of snow now and then.
Manchester Christmas Markets which I wrote about here are a sure sign of winter. European style Christmas markets are increasingly popular all over. I’d love to go to the ones in places like Vienna, Prague or Munich.
I love the photo of the lady feeding the pigeons. I love sitting in parks and watching people feed pigeons and seeing how excited the little kids get when the pigeons take the food.
It’s for moments like this that I try to keep my camera in my hand as much as possible even when just walking through a park or down the street. These are the photos that add more to the travel memories than just buildings or famous sites which I take in abundance, of course. Hmmm might be a good blog post in that!
Love the picture of the folks in Santa hats at the market! It’s always fun to see people dressing up and enjoying what they do. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you!
Merry Christmas to you as well!
