Bleak : Trostlos (Photo 52 Week #5)

Can bleak weather be cold without being cold? It wasn't really cold this morning, but it was so bleak that I shivered.

Kann trostloses Wetter auch kalt sein ohne dass es kalt ist? Es ist nicht wirklich kalt gewesen heute morgen, aber so trostlos, dass mich gefröstelt hat.

Bleak : Trostlos
^{Cold / Kalt}

If you disagree with me and think that the photos don't look cold, then please don't click away, but scroll down, because the last photo is pretty cold in my opinion.

Wenn ihr anderer Meinung seid als ich und denkt, dass die Fotos nicht kalt aussehen, dann klickt aber bitte nicht weg, sondern scrollt bis nach unten, denn das letzte Foto ist ziemlich kalt, denke ich.

There are other words for bleak, such as dreary, desolate, cheerless or miserable, but bleak would suit best to this morning, because although it initially looked like a beautiful sunrise with fog, this fog then was completely different than usual and somehow lit the landscape in a bleak light.

Es gibt auch andere Worte für trostlos, wie zum Beispiel trist, düster, trübselig oder auch freudlos, wobei aber trostlos für den heutigen Morgen am besten passen würde, denn obwohl es zuerst nach einem schönen Sonnenaufgang mit Nebel ausgesehen hat, ist dieser Nebel dann so ganz anders gewesen als sonst und hat die Landschaft irgendwie in ein trostloses Licht getaucht.

The Earth A Cheerless Look Still Wears

The earth a cheerless look still wears,
But spring's breath is already swaying
The dead stalks in the field and playing
With boughs as yet of leafage bare.

Though nature sleeps, through its dull slumber,
Through dreams that slowly fade away,
It hears spring's airy step and gay,
And, happy, smiles at the newcomer...

O soul, my soul, you slumbered too...
What is it that, your sleep disturbing,
Fills you with warmth and tender yearning
And gilds your tarnished dreams anew?

The thawing snows lie sparkling under
The sparkling sky: no clouds above.
My hot blood plays... Is it the languor
Of springtime or - a woman's love?..

^{by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev}

Im Nebel

Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein,
Kein Baum sieht den andern,
Jeder ist allein.

Voll von Freunden war mir die Welt,
Als noch mein Leben licht war;
Nun, da der Nebel fällt,
Ist keiner mehr sichtbar.

Wahrlich, keiner ist weise,
Der nicht das Dunkel kennt,
Das unentrinnbar und leise
Von allen ihn trennt.

Seltsam, Im Nebel zu wandern!
Leben ist Einsamsein.
Kein Mensch kennt den andern,
Jeder ist allein.

^{von Hermann Hesse}

My cold photo for #photo52 Week #5

It was really cold that day in early December 2019 and the hoarfrost is a good witness. You can decide for yourself which of the two who took a rest on this bench was the man and who was the woman.

An diesem Tag Anfang Dezember 2019 ist es wirklich kalt gewesen und der Rauhreif kann dies bezeugen. Wer von den beiden, die sich auf dieser Bank ausgerastet haben, der Mann gewesen ist und wer die Frau, kann jeder für sich selbst entscheiden.

Lol...I have no idea about that last photo sir johannpiber. Could be either or neither! But I agree about the cold. A wet cold is the coldest cold!

Still laughing over the butt prints on the bench! This time of year bleak is a word that I am far too familiar with. Gloomy is another one that I use frequently. Wonderful poetry to go with your wonderful photos. !BEER !DERANGED !Trdo
@wwwiebe(74)· 2399d
Awesome photos, and definitely cold looking. I'm personally very familiar with cold, and know full well that cold does not necessarily mean snow. Great pictures! Great butt-pictures too!

Thank you for entering!

Beautiful trees in a bleak weather, those photos looks cold enough for @photo52 competition @johannpiber. Good luck !BEER and !COFFEEA, as usual 😉
@uruguru(63)· 2399d
Guten Morgen Johann.

Winter ist meiste trostlos und wenig erbaulich. Gerade der Nebel deckt dann Vieles zu. Deine Erwartungen waren für diesen Tag einfach zu hoch gesteckt, darum klingt nun bei Dir die Enttäuschung heraus.

Morgen kann es wieder ganz anders aussehen.

Ich bin mir sicher, Du weißt das selber.

Dennoch sind die Fotos nicht übel. Vor allem die Sitzbank. Da wird es wahrscheinlich ganz anders sein als es offensichtlich aussieht :)

Liebe Grüße Peter
