First snow in Leipzig
After some very warm days in Leipzig we had the first showing of winter today. For a few hours we had snow on the ground. Now it is all melting away. But here is the proof from this afternoon:
It is a bit late to be getting your first snow, isn't it? I love the first photo in particular, showing the snow on top of the flower. What is the flower called, if I may ask?
Well for here it isn't too unusual to have snow this late in December. However, what was unusual were the warm days prior to yesterday. So the flower you see is a simple rose - a rose bud, still closed.
I was born and raised in Leipzig/ (East) Germany. I lived in Michigan the past 6 years and I recently returned to Germany to work on my Dissetation in Political Science. I am naturally very interested in Politics. This blog is called "Aufbau Ost" because this is my main interest in politics - the (re-)construction of East Germany - politically and economically. However I am interested in many other political subjects as well. My second passion is photography.
