Winter wonderland

Is it possible that I haven't posted any snow-pics yet?
For one part, the snow we got after Christmas is mainly gone, and for the other part I'm behind my books again.
However, it was a wonderful surprise to wake up to a winter wonderland a couple of days before New Year. I can't remember the last time I got out of bed so quickly, and went into a cold winter morning on a voluntary basis!
The surroundings of Viktring abbey look great in frost, too...

... but fact is: only snow turns winter into "real winter".
Nature looks like an enchanted forest, and everything is so peaceful.

Somebody even prepared a table near the water, and the childrens' playground turns into a fairy landscape.

And as everything is white on white, it's rather shapes that matter, not colours.
