Snowy Kurpark

Winter obviously is not over yet - we got a bit more snow over night. Here in the Kurpark (the main park in Wiesbaden) the ducks don't really seem to care. There are even wild "Nilgänse" (Nile geese) at the partly frozen lake.

In the background you see the back of the theater and opera house of Wiesbaden from 1894.

Hi Nicola,

It looks very calm and peaceful. I thought Nile geese migrated. Must be nice in Wiesbaden. By the way, I've linked to you- I thought I had done so before but was mistaken:)

Now that you say it - there used to be an ice rink set up right behind the trees around Christmas time (together with a small Christmas market).

The lake is really only dedicated to the ducks (at least that's how it seems). They even have a little house there on the left.

I posted a photo of geese today as well.

Nice shot, Nicola...cold but quiet and peaceful.

Btw, sorry about the bird flu getting to Germany too already. Even I heard a cat so far was contaminated with the virus in Germany...do you hear more? We're all afraid now that the virus can get to other animals and finally us, humans. There are a few cases of bird flu in France too now :-(

Yes, unfortunately, it's getting worse and worse. I think the main problem is that bird migrate so it hard to keep the desease under control.

The cat infected with the flu died today. Now people are told to put their cats on "house arrest" to avoid further infections.
