It was shot from the top of the hill when the Baltic sea and the lake were still frozen. The ice there is like the rare marble. It is coloured by the foliage from a continent, it reflects the skies. It is almost never white there. That is why people in spite of severe weather - the second hill with trees saves the valley and its palaces from the west winter wind - visit the place in winter and spring. It is like viewing cherry blossoms in the rest of the world. It is possible to find colours in the place and time when it is almost impossible to cope with sadness and grey.
