I know, this is totally out of place. Unless you’re living in Australia, you now look outside your window and it’s still summer. But I cannot help posting these amazing photos of winter and snow.

You must understand.
Andrei Baciu took these photos. I wrote about his work before, once on my blog and recently on Feature Shoot. And perhaps because he’s from where I’m from, perhaps simply because he’s so talented, well, his photos really mean something to me, even when they show the most simple things. Like trees and snow.
