Winter is not Coming
Some say there is no Climate Change. No shit Sherlock, these are the only photos with snow I could grab in 3 years and the only day we had snow this year, it melted until the afternoon.
There are no winters anymore, at least not like the ones we had when I was young.
These photos are from two winters ago in fact, when I woke up and I looked outside and astonished by the view I screamed: SNOW!!!
I grabbed my cam and dressed up fast while the water was boiling for the tee for the road. I was messed up after the Covid, because I was left with a Bronchitis and I had pain in my chest, but I didn’t care.

This snow was like gold! I could finally shoot the winter! I didn’t lose one second and rushed towards the Schönbrunn since that was the only close location where I knew I can get something interesting.
I’ve never seen the Schönbrunn covered in snow, even I’m living in next to it since 2017!

In general I think the symmetry is the most pleasing type of composition in visual arts, described by Aristotle as the greatest form of beauty in mathematical science, but I think it’s one of the most essential physics rule in the universe, therefore the human eye is inherently attracted to it as we are, and all nature around us, bound to this rule.
In photographic composition I don’t always try to create this type of expression, but rather a type of composition which I call “Descentred Symmetry” (istead Asymmetry or Broken Symmetry) - the balanced group of elements which tend to evolve towards a symmetrical shape.
