Today was the first day of our week of winter sport holidays. Since the forecast was for beautiful weather, I got up early and cycled down through the frosty landscape to the Obersee (the upper part of Lake Zurich) which is a good place to observe wildfowl.
While I was standing down by the Marina at Stampf the sun rose in all its glory over the mountains to the east.

We spent a few days this winter season in Graubünden. Apart from tobogganing and ice-skating we also had some pleasant walks, especially this one in Val Roseg near Pontresina.
We were able to observe chamois way up on the mountainside but also some wildlife at closer quarters, like this nuthatch.
