Short stories, written by landscape photographer Johan Peijnenburg, about his travels and landscape photography in winter.

That theme showcases countryside and mountain landscapes as well as nature’s frozen winter detail. Expect to see frozen lakes, snowy mountain peaks and forests, as well as forest and trees with fresh snow.
