Some snowy views from our 15th floor Apartment

[Graham]

Hi all,
We live opposite "Peoples Park" in Weifang, China.
We have a great view of the city etc, and I would like to show you our winter's view of the park and the river on the other side of the park from our 15th floor apartment.

Couple of guys fishing through a hole they made in the ice on the river.

Very much so.
Generally up in Zhangjiakou, just a little north from Beijing.

Hey Gra,
Christmas card photos there, beautiful and thanks for sharing!
We're at a hot springs resort in Baile Felix (Romania) getting therapy from swimming (lazing) in 35 degree mineral rich thermal water baths in well sub zero outside temperatures.
The snow has gone at low level, but its very strange to be swimming outside when it's so cold.
5 star hotel with massage and other therapeutical treatment, just right to unwind after a tough year. Another tough year to follow, so were making the best of it!
Happy New Year to all!
