From the vanishing winter 2012-13

Aunque quede todavia algo de rabia al invierno (sobretodo, y aún, en tierras septentrionales), los dias más duros irán quedando ya atrás. El invierno 2012-13 ha repartido sus flores, en unos sitios más, en otros menos, pero ha dejado una vez más su majestuoso sello, sin duda.

Postales de fin de año

Para terminar el año, y como aperitivo de lo que está por llegar durante el invierno 2012-13, espero, algunas fotos de este diciembre. Hay que puntualizar que, quitando los modestos latigazos invernales que han visitado Europa y América del Norte, el invierno si ha irrumpido con fuerza durante este mes de diciembre en todo el territorio ruso.
