Black snow was falling. The tree line shone when I turned to see -
Then, a thick silence descends, and my every gesture leaves a comet tail in the heavens.
And I hear evey glance I cast as it echoes against some tree.
How transparent your hands are in winter!
My nostrils tremble and no scent and no breeze
...only the distant, icy smell of the suns.
And no one passes -
He offered me a branch like an arm.
I passed through him. He passed through me. I remained a solitary tree.
I could hear his sap quicken, beating like blood. He could hear my blood slacken like rising sap.
The field stretched on its back, near the horizon,
Full of ice
and the trees stopped running from the winter wind ...
Stuck in ice...
and the thought spreads in circles
ringing the trees...
....and the Sea.
...Then we met more often.
I stood at one side of the hour,
you at the other,
like two handles of an amphora.
Only the words flew between us,
back and forth.
You could almost see their swirling,
and suddenly,
I would lower a knee,
and touch my elbow to the ground
to look at the grass, bent
by the falling of some word,
as though by the paw of a lion in flight.
The words spun between us,
back and forth,
and the more I missed you, the more
they continued, this whirl almost seen,
the structure of matter, the beginnings of things.

english translation by Thomas Carlson and Vasile Poenaru.
Freezing rain is the name given to rain that falls when surface temperatures are below freezing. The raindrops become supercooled while passing through a sub-freezing layer of air, many hundred feet (or meters), just above the surface, and then freeze upon impact with any object they encounter.(wiki)
freezing rain (ploaieîngheţată) este destul de rar, însă nu total neobişnuit pentru România.
Fenomenul se formează din cauză că în straturile înalte ale atmosferei temperaturile cresc, iar la nivelul solului, unde sunt temperaturi sub zero grade, ploaia se transformă imediat în gheaţă. Astfel, în urma freezing rain, se formează o crustă subţire de gheaţă.

Winter beauty
Very beautiful photographs. I feel the cold wind just by looking at these wonderful images. Stay warm, my friend.
Winter might be cruel, but no one can deny its beauty. In fact, it might be the most beautiful of the four seasons, and you have captured winter in its truest splendor, Daliana.
Your photographs make me wish to lift off into the air and to soar above the snow-laden trees as an eagle might, or even to wade into the open waters, drawn by the illusion that nothing so stunning could be a danger. I am like a moth, drawn not to flame, but to snow and ice.
The words which accompany your photos are magical and the music is alluring. They are like arms reaching out across time and distance -- even across oceans.
Bonza photos. I especially like photos 6,8,10,14,16 and 20 showing plants encased in ice :-).
Such Glory!!!

Just one thing.. I think this is an old one, the administrator of the lake moved recently a ship wreck next to the concrete platform, to have a small restaurant for the summer

Gheaţa pe post de chihlimbar închizând ramuri, frunze şi roşu de măceş mi-au furat privirea.
