White and Silent World



Minus 21 this morning here, and minus 34 in the Northern part of the country. The streets are almost deserted and I could hardly breath as I went out for just one minute. But I have to go to school. The sky is gray and seems lower than usually, heavy and dense.
The photos are my son's. I would never go out at night all the way to Cismigiu, on such a weather, just to take pictures, but he's young. The last one is my favourite.

Really freezing! I wouldn't have gone out in the night, of course, even if I had known there were wonderful views.
Very nice photos, despite the cold they are inviting.
Take care with the cold, the streets and the snow balls!

Thanks, I will.
A good day tomorrow for you and all yours!

It will be on Wednesday, in the end

ivasil said...

OK. Bafta!
By the way, this a unceremonious, colloquial word.

caluad said...

thank you! and how do you say gtood luck in a formal way?

ivasil said...

"Noroc!", just like when you drink, is the literal translation for "good luck". But it is not said unless you drink or sneeze,or else it has the opposite effect. We always say "Bafta!". And "sa fie!" instead of "thank you". Superstitions!
A question: does the train to Seville go nearby Avila? I guess not. Just curious.

caluad said...

No, the train to Sevilla goes just the other direction. when coming to Ávila you are moving North and when travelling to Sevilla you are going South.

Thought so, but I wanted to check. I'm lousy in Geography. Thanks.
