This is my entry for the @tattoodjay's Wednesday walk challenge.
Today I want to continue the story about my weekend family walks in the forest. This is not the first story, but it so happens that we really like this place and we go there every Sunday.
For us, this is both a pleasant pastime with family and useful physical activity.
However, I try to diversify my photos so that they don’t bore you.
So let's get started ...
This time when we arrived in the forest, the sun struggled through the clouds, and it was snowing from the sky.
The snowflakes were so large that I tried to take a close-up picture of them on the phone. It certainly turned out to be hard.
While I was trying to make a photo of snowflakes, my wife and son went far ahead.
But I still stopped to take a photo of the path, going deep into the forest.
And then I rushed to catch up with my family.
On the way, we met a clearing where the power line passes.
We came to the first slope. I like its bend in combination with the long pines supporting the sky. Always take a picture of it.
And so this slope looks from above. My son drove down on the snow scooter ...
And this is our second favorite slope. See there in the distance a man? It is located approximately in the middle of a long descent.
Going down the snow scooter is great fun. That's just to climb back through the loose snow is very difficult.
Having made a couple of descents, we breathed a little and went on.
There is a place where you can see the city nearest to the forest. See the gray line between the pines and the clouds? There you can hardly see multi-storey houses.
But we do not stay here for long. We have a big route ahead.
Although, if you turn onto this path, you can reach the exit from the forest three to four times faster. But we are not looking for easy ways.
On the way there are many paths that go into the forest. I wonder where they all lead?
We go on and hear a cry from behind. This skier descends at high speed from a hill. We hastily give way to him.
I lingered photographing the neighborhood and again I have to catch up with my wife and son.
Snow falls from the pines. I barely have time to shoot it.
We move on. It seems to have gone about half the route. A skier descends from another slope past us.
We continue our way among the high pines. By the way, on this photo, to the left of the road, not pines grow, but larches.
Here you can also see larch in the center of the frame.
All the way we meet ups and downs.
The wife is tired and the son decided to take her in tow. Well done! Hard but coping.
This time I got a lot of photos. I have not had time to process them all. Therefore, I will interrupt my story at this place, and in the coming days I will try to continue it. Do not miss!
I strongly recommend to open the photo in a separate tab to appreciate it.
