Into The Snow Covered Woods
Snow evokes in us a sense of childlike wonder. It paints white over the scenery, using a thick brush and wide strokes. The snowy blanket snuggles everything and puts life itself to a cozy nap. That blanket is woven out of many snowflakes, each of which is unique, landing right where it did for a reason. We know the reason but can’t explain it except — it’s there to create a winter wonderland.
The snow crunched beneath my boots as I ventured further into the woods. It was a difficult walk – the deep snow made it hard to get anywhere. But it was worth it. Every time I stopped to take a breath, I was rewarded with a beautiful view of the snow-covered cliffs, trees, and valleys. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, casting a soft light on everything below. I could see the footprints of animals in the snow, leading me further into the forest. It was so peaceful here, away from all the noise and chaos of everyday life.
When the Troodos mountains are covered with snow, they become completely different. They look like a scene from a fairytale, with the snow-capped peaks and the pine forests. It’s no wonder that when they are covered by snow people rush to come here to ski and enjoy the winter scenery.
It’s a whole new world. Every time I come here, I find something new to appreciate. Whether it’s the way the sun reflects off the snow, or the sound of silence that surrounds me, I always leave feeling refreshed and invigorated.
The white blanket causes it to become more difficult as you get deeper into the forest. The identical appears to be true for everything. It is simple to lose sight of the path and end up lost. But the risk is worth taking because of what lies on the other side. A scene unlike any other, one that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
