I actually have no love at all for winter. And almost none for summer. 🤔
 
Autumn is where I start to get depressed, and winter is when it sets in full-on.

And yet? Although it depends on where you are..... Seasons are very different in certain places on the planet. I don't know where you are.)

This is exactly what I'm thinking about, atm.

That deep silence I love in late Dec into January - it's easier to pick up on it in the countryside, obvs. But even in a big, noisy city you can sense it. If you're lucky enough to have a garden or access to a decent public park you'll sense it. But even on urban streets in the morning. Not so much in central London, for example. But if you are in the outer London area, you can pick up on it when you're at the train station early in the morning waiting to get to work.

That silence is there underneath all the city noise. You just have to be willing to pick up on it.

I do get slightly tetchy when people insist that you can't see the changing seasons if you live in a big city. Maybe New York is tricky, I wouldn't know. But big cities in the UK? You absolutely can see the different character of the seasons as you go through the year. Obviously it's more spectacular in the countryside but it's available anywhere. You just have to look.
 
There are bad moments of course at any time of the year. But, uh.
I love much for the beauty of the bright colors and the sense of calm and harvest)))))
Winter for the snow-white purity, the beauty of falling snow and crunching sounds underfoot, also for snowballs and snowmen and the new year)))))
Spring for the feeling of rising and the awakening of new life and the beauty of fresh green and blossoming trees.
And summer for warmth and comfort and the fact that you can swim and traditional vacation)))))
That's how it is.

Travelling by coach very early in the morning in autumn or winter and seeing a landscape like this. Love it. :love:

That is beautiful. I can appreciate that. But don’t you feel that there’s a certain melancholy to it as well?

The feeling of pause and slowing down comes in the fall for me.
And yes, I agree that the mood of the changing seasons is felt in the big city.

We've had our first snow of the season. Someone did a great snowman in their front garden. He's still there, 3 days later. Looking a bit lopsided but hanging in there, lol.
