This picture was taken during a snowshoe hike last winter in the area of Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The area is not the best for winter landscape photography as most of it is dedicated to skiing and, therefore, very crowded, especially on a bright sunny day. As a result, the camera mainly stayed in the backpack until I saw, from the snowshoe track, this lonely tree and its shade. I could not resist and took this shot; it was the only one of the day.

Sometimes coincidences happen and you’re glad they did. I wrote a while back about a Denver Police Department officer who saved the day once after I had been thrown out of the homeless shelter on 48th several years ago. I had left my cot to use the restroom, and when I came back there was a man in my bed claiming it was his bed. The shelter manager sided with him and ejected me.
