In February 2021, a displaced polar vortex brought unusually cold days to northern Germany. For a short time, fascinating landscapes emerged on the Schlei. Nico Krauss photographed them, his pictures can be seen in the gallery above. A good way to get in the mood for the winter that has just begun! The winter sun also provides a golden light and brings a change to the otherwise frequent grey.
The magic of freezing water makes us forget the cold and reminds us how fascinating and diverse nature can be. The frosty waters invite us to look at nature from a new perspective and enjoy moments of peace and tranquillity.
The cold winter air envelops the coast and lends it a magical charm. The waves break gently on the shore and leave glittering ice crystals in the sand. A walk along the coast becomes a romantic adventure. The sun is low on the horizon and bathes the landscape in a warm golden light.
In the evening, as the sun slowly sets, the sky turns into a spectacle of colour. Pink, purple and orange tones paint the sky and are reflected in the calm water. It is as if nature itself has created a painting to emphasise the romance of the moment. Winter romance by the sea is a special experience. The combination of the raw beauty of the sea and the winter silence creates an atmosphere that makes hearts beat faster.
