Great art, deep thinking, involving stories – all this can wait, for there’s winter beauty to behold. It can be man-made during the night (Gallery 1) and nature-sponsored during the day (Gallery 2).
I wish all my readers, followers, and occasional visitors a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
Gallery 1: Man-made beauty
Restaurant closed for the night, 15 cm of fresh snow
The Table of My Granddad. The restaurant’s name
A quiet street in a quiet village
Too snowy for outdoor drinking
It has been snowing, and you can guess from where the wind was blowing
The doorman of a tree
Gallery 2: Nature-sponsored delights
That’s a bit man-made
Arresting trees
Santa Claus Forest
Tet-a-tet with clouds
Standing Ovation, Seated 
Happy new year!
If I may ask something more from your inspiring blog for the year to come, that would be more posts on the russian art, both old and modern, and artists.
I feel that there are still more to discover from that huge country… (no, I am not russian)
Thank you! Happy New Year! ) I will do my best to write more about Russian art.
