The passes are blocked by snow
... cannot slip but it’s still amazing.
Finally I find myself high up in the mountains and on the banks of a frozen lake. There is snow all around and the scenery is really beautiful. It’s getting late afternoon now and the sun is going down. The temp is dropping by the minute and I’m beginning to feel the cold.
