A Winter Wonder Fall?

Who knew there could be something more esthetically pleasing than the bold crisp tree colorings of Fall or the freshly frosted landscape of Winter? Clearly the combination of both trumps all. Yesterday’s downpours morphed into flakes and by morning Cȃmpulung was lightly dusted in snow. It was actually quite surreal to the human eye; it appeared as if someone let down a life-size backdrop. In the forefront, were bright radiant colors but as your gaze moved slowly uphill, the oranges, yellows and red were sprinkled white. Further up the foothills and mountains, the still green grass had been primped with an untainted carpet and the endless pines were perfectly frosted. For me, it was the ultimate beauty, the best of both worlds – Fall at your feet, unified splendor at your eye and Winter within reach.
