hen I found out that this is about doing 31 pictures yesterday, I was quite happy as I hadn't had any time to set up what I thought should be the final photo for this challenge before day 30.

ne more winterwonderland shot, or at least almost. When I went to the library with the kids, I had my shooting gear with me and this is what I got… Well, among other pictures which had less atmosphere however.

hat seemed like a point in some far and uncertain day in the future became almost a fact today. With that melancholy which always frames closing projects, I took an indoor shot today, which sort of reflects the situation.

s if winter recognized that this challenge will be over soon we're stuck with fog which successfully keeps sun from shining. Not exactly the postcard atmosphere I would like to capture, but if it were about fancy colors and predictability, I should have chosen a different theme.

s I had a meeting in Bregenz today, I stopped at that huge stalagmite which grows from the dripping waters of a well somewhere up the hill. There's a pipe running over the street and usually the water drops down into a gully. In winter, things are quite different.

t was a tough day again, lots of mishaps, pretty much everything one doesn't need badly. It started with a jar dropping out of the shelf in the morning, smashing a plate. Well, a new plate. OK… later the workers returned to rebuild the cabinet in the kitchen (remember that leakage thing?). Well, they managed to cut into the new pipe and we were out of water again. Later they discovered a board being to short, they'll return tomorrow. Oh yeah. As we had no water on the first floor, we had to use the bathroom on the third floor. But after my daughter had used it, the water didn't stop flowing. Somehow the thing didn't stop and it took me half an hour to disassemble and reassemble that thing. In the meantime my son started to feel sick. It got worse in the afternoon, and later in the afternoon I started to feel sick as well. And then my daughter also got sick… I went to do today's shot, and … right …

hen it stopped snowing we got lots of rain and with today's sunshine, all the fluffy snow turned into hard and sometimes dangerous ice.

oly smokes, this was that sort of day I didn't wish to happen during this challenge. It started with my wife being sick -- result: I had to do breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kids enjoy my kitchen work and so do I, but I had had some plans for the rebuilding of our kitchen and the neighboring bathroom as well…

ooking on things from above often reveals something you can't see at the object's level. As today won't get any sun I went for something which can't get much better with sunshine anyway.

pening the blinds this morning revealed my favorite winter sight -- lots of fresh snow and the sky mirroring in the shady blue areas of snow.
