White Slavery

A blanket of newly fallen snow...

The snowflakes settle into the branches of the holly...

As far as the eye can see,

my world was white, pure and beautiful!

I went for a walk to see the structure and beauty of snow flakes. (Below) it's me:) It was so pretty good outside. Photos taken in and around my house. A few views taken out of my window:)

I love winter pictures and snow, you?

Heavy snowfalls over the weekend have cut off communities across Turkey, including the country's two largest cities Istanbul and Ankara.

Istanbul received its first major snow of the year this week. Late Sunday it started snowing. We just got 15 cm(=6-7 in). Many schools called off, transportation affected. According to figures provided by the municipality; 18,000 tons of salt was scattered over one night, and 3,557 workers were dispatched to help with clearing the streets in Istanbul.


Also snow and hail have covered large parts of Turkey, with road-air and sea transportation grinding to halt in many sections of the country. More than 3,000 village roads have been blocked by snow, cutting off thousands of people from the outside world.

~Fun and Happy Winter Season~
