In recent months, it has been rather inconvenient in a few parts of the world, with black ice and freezing rain, among other things, but even the too-warm winter somehow didn't feel right. However, the low temperatures in combination with the sun can make for spectacular pictures that make us forget that it is not pleasant to shiver in sub-zero temperatures.

Impressive images thanks to time-lapse
In a sleepy-looking village in the Canadian province of British Columbia, a natural spectacle recently took place that many will never forget.
According to web.de, the settlement of La Casa lies on the shore of a lake. Right there, a camera captured time-lapse images that, at first, seem threatening, but in reality, are completely harmless and more like an optical illusion.
Fortunately no fire
The settlement is covered in a thick layer of snow, the temperatures are clearly below zero. But the sun is shining in the sky as if we were in the middle of summer. There is also a dense fog.
According to web.de, the combination of 'sunlight and cold fog' makes it look as if the entire lake is on fire. Fortunately, however, the magnificent scenario is not threatened by a forest fire. Nature has just played a little trick in our eyes.
