Winter Landscape from Above

Last night it finally snowed a few centimetres in Konstanz. After a long time I dusted off the drone, drove into the hinterland and let it rise above the beautiful winter landscape.

Snow and silence

From above the snow glittered, with the dark trees standing in between. The whole landscape lay in deep winter rest.

A spontaneous flight in the snow

This spontaneous flight gave me pictures that seem almost unreal.
