Winterlandschaften im Schwarzwald — Senioren um die Welt

Als ich die Winterbilder meines Neffen aus dem Schwarzwald sah, wurde ich wieder an meine Kindheit in Oberbayern erinnert. Die Winter waren damals noch „richtige Winter“ mit viel Schnee und beständigem Wetter. Wir waren damals zwar arm und hatten im Winter nur Schuhe, die uns von größeren Kindern geschenkt wurden und die mit Papier ausgestopft […]
