Winter dandelion.

Siberia. Winter. The calendar shows mid-December. And outside the frost is below 30 and... the sun and... real magic. We only have a few days like this in year. These days, the fairy Winter demonstrates the power and beauty of her magic. While everyone is sleeping, the fairy Winter covers hectares of forests and fields with a white blanket, sparkling under the sun. A morning like this is always a surprise. The performance of the fairy Winter is always unexpected. There are no invitations for anyone. If you can, take what you have, come and take pictures. And it doesn’t matter what kind of photographer you are, if you miss such a day, you’ll miss a year. I like how on days like these the fairy Winter turns birch trees into giant dandelions. Just like in the summer, if you want to have time to photograph these extraordinary giant dandelions, you need to hurry. As soon as Mr. Wind wakes up, the Winter fairy removes her magic and you won’t be able to find giant winter dandelions. #Siberia #Winter #morning #sun #Frost #snow #forest #birch #December

Dear LOMODESBRO.
Thank you for your attention, opinion and emotions.
Perhaps, especially for you, for those who find it difficult to attend these performances of the Winter Fairy, I made this publication. Because no matter how hard you try, no matter how many times you gather, such beauty as on the live stage of this magical performance of the Winter fairy will never be conveyed. This is just another attempt.

Dear ROARINGTREE.
Dear LOMODESBRO.
Thank you for your attention, opinion and emotions.
I believe that some of the inhabitants of this resource have never been to such performances of the Winter fairy. You may never have to visit them. Especially for you, I will take advantage of the opportunity provided by my dear ROARINGTREE to explain the essence of this magic.
Under certain conditions of high humidity and a high rate of decrease in negative temperature, water crystals grow on any objects. They cling to each other and form fairly thick, loose coatings. This is not snow that forms at high altitudes and then falls to the ground. This is not ice, which is formed when a volume of water freezes. Perhaps this is frozen steam that has settled on objects. Very often, a sharp drop in negative temperature is accompanied by a sharp increase in pressure in this area. The clouds are scattering. And often frosty days are very bright. However, magic these days is considered magic because it happens very rarely. The conditions required for the formation of a magical white blanket are very rare in our domain. The day may be frosty, and even the sky may be blue, but there is no such magical beauty. It's just terribly cold. No poetry. Words, not even spoken, freeze.
