Altkönig II

The remnants of Autumn still linger at the Hochschule. (I spent all afternoon Friday raking.) But when you get higher up into the hills overlooking Oberursel, several inches of snow remain from last week. Today, Andreas, a classmate, and I took a quick hike up to the top of Altkönig. It was brisk at lower elevations, but downright cold on top. As we got within 50-75 meters of the hilltop, we walked out of the trees into a "Winter Wunderland." I hope all is well. Peace to you.
