This current series, which I call The Seasons and Elements is coming to a close. Hopefully this series will bring out our creative side with some unique perspectives and ways of looking at things. This week the topic is Winter – Water.
Winter is the energy of the element Water, the time of rest and hibernation, when nature retreats to build up its reserves for its next cycle of seasons. This is a quieter, more reflective time of year, a time when it is easy to sleep in, stay at home, and let ourselves rest.
Water is about our ability to flow and to overcome obstacles. To understand the attributes of water in ourselves we can think of the many ways water presents itself in Nature.
Think how our energy can resemble a mighty river or a trickling stream, the waves of the ocean, a frozen lake, a gentle rain.
The more we rest in Winter the more harvest we can expect in Late Summer. — 5 Elements of Nature
You can take photos of anything that relates to the season of Winter or Water. Have fun with this challenge. Use your imagination for this theme. The thing is to have a lot of fun with this challenge.
Go through you photo archives and see what photos you have that fits the current week’s challenge, or better yet grab you camera and take a new photo! ENJOY and have FUN.

Seems strange fishing out winter photos in Spring, but why not. Love your bench by the river, although looks a bit close. The snow in the branches is a wonderful shot.

The bench is right on the river, but the bank is fairly steep so it is safe. 😀

The bench by the river reminds me of the one thing we’re really missing in Seattle, despite the fact we are surrounded by water, and that’s a nice river. (Even our streams are very underwhelming.)

Most of the rivers here are too big or unaccessible to get the idea of nice flowing stream. 😀

Hii, I’m a beginner in photography even though I possess a deep passion for it. Capturing wildlife and antiquity are my favourites. However I bought my first dlsr two weeks back. I had clicked these shots of sunset and beach soon after I bought it. I would love to hear what all of you thinks about it.

We usually get an inch or less of snow where I live. So the few times we get more it’s a reminder of what a real winter is. 😀

I used to live where it snowed a lot during the winters. So it is nice to have fairly warm winters where I live. 😀 So it sounds like Belgrade will be about the same temperatures as I am now.
