I was looking through my old photos for some drawing inspiration and found this. Not planning on drawing this, but I thought I'd share.
This is in Celle, Lower Saxony, where we used to live for a short while. It's at the entrance to the city park, which is called Französischer Garten (French Garden.)
This picture is from the winter 2009 / 2010, when there was - unbelievably - snow on Christmas, although this was taken later. But I also came across some snow pictures from 12/26.
