Love this photo but beginning of Februar is usually still in the midst of winter. Global warming and warmer weather obviously has an impact on that but I think you could have loads of snow within 2 weeks.

They said, it's in Germany

Edit: I figured this joke would flop, it was rather far fetched for anyone who doesn't know German. 'Wo' in German means where. So when they said "Wo?" I was... Being a smart-ass. I suppose I earned my down votes.

Some will probably comment in appreciation that "it looks almost like a photograph!". Others, "it looks almost like a painting!".

Of course, they would both be right. Gorgeous any way you look at it!

It still is Winter here in SW Germany. It's cold enough to have people scratch the ice of their cars in the morning. We've had some sun and clear skies over the last week, but temps are definitely wintery

To all the people complaining about how early it is for spring, yes it would be very early, but this is just a glance of sun and a bit of warmth (5-8°C) which is quite common in February. Real spring in Germany generally starts in March

Isn't this a Japanese cherry blossom though? They can flower all the way through the winter, I've seen some in Warsaw a while back too. Climate change is scary obviously and it was unsettling to see temperatures over 15 degrees in January but this particular thing might not be as concerning as you think.

Wer glaubt, dass das zeigt, dass der Frühling jetzt anfängt, hat wohl noch nie einen immergrünen Baum gesehen. Das ist ne schöne Stelle im Wald, aber wenn kein Schnee liegt, sieht es da wahrscheinlich das ganze Jahr so aus.

Hast du in deinem Leben noch keinen Nadelbaum gesehen? Wenn du das Bild richtig anguckst, siehst du, dass da auch nur Nadelbäume grün sind. Die Laubbäume die man sieht, haben noch nicht Mal Knospen.

Ich bin super verwirrt von deinem comment. Ja, ich habe Nadelbäume gesehen. Mit trees meinte ich obviously die Laubbäume, weil Nadelbäume eh grün sind. Von daher widersprichst du mir nicht, sondern stimmst mir zu.

Maybe they meant that this picture was taken at a time when spring was making its way into S Germany.

Ich hab mal den Gedanken gelesen, dass wenn man im Ruhrgebiet wohnt, das Ästhetische Empfinden das Stockholm Syndrom bekommt. Man merkt gar nicht mehr wie hässlich es dort I ist. Man merkt das erst wieder wenn man mal eine richtig schöne Landschaft sieht und wieder nach Hause kommt. Oder überhaupt irgendeine Landschaft gesehen hat.

Das fand ich sehr treffend und ich fühlte mich ertappt. Das sage ich als jemand der mal im bzw am Rand des Ruhrgebiets gelebt hat.

Why? It doesn't look like there are any actual signs of spring in the photo. All the green looks like it's coming from moss or pine trees (which keep their needles through winter). The rest of the trees either only have dead brown leaves on them or none at all. The rest of the effect is just from warm light and/or processing.

I'm not saying global warming is fake and not to be worried or sad about it. But this photo and title seem misleading.

I will eat my hat if that is a current picture of Germany. They're even further north than we are here in Michigan or at least large parts of them are, and there is no spring here in Michigan because it's February.

It could well be. All that it shows is that the leaves are dead on a few trees. It could be taken any time from October to April.

Also latitude isn't always the best comparison. You can be further north and have milder conditions thanks to things like the gulf stream.

I used to shoot only analog for the last couple of years and (re-) started shooting digital. The whole concept of editing photos feels like cheating to me. The most I ever edited my scans was cropping them at best.

Toying around in lightroom makes me feel like Dr Evil.
