The story behind the image
Unterhaching is situated directly south of Munich, and during winter there can be lots of snow, even as early as December. Apparently, this was the case in December 2010 as well when I took this photo.
In front of our house there used to be just a huge crop field, and in winter it provided a shortcut for those who wanted to go for a sleigh ride. After a day of heavy snow, the field was entirely covered with snow, an nobody had ever stepped on it. This small group was the first to cross it in the afternoon. The sky had cleared and the sun was shining its late afternoon glow creating lovely long shadows. Fortunately I had the tele ready to capture the scene.
The field, by the way, is gone by now. It has been replaced a couple of years ago by appartment buildings. This photo would be impossible to shoot today.
