This image was captured on the 28th of January in 2024 at the Naturschutzgebiet Sutschketal conservation area located in Mittenwalde. The photograph beautifully illustrates the serenity of a cold winter’s day with the focal point being a single brown leaf covered in frost held against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The contrast between the intricate details of the frozen leaf and the vast openness of the sky encapsulates nature’s beauty during winter.
