Boing Boing reader Martin Liebermann contributed this photograph to the Boing Boing Flickr pool: The full moon of the winter solistice, rising behind snowy trees in Schwedenschanze near Bielefeld, Germany. Martin explains:
Winter 2010 in Germany has come early with lots of cold and snow. After a night of more snow, and a grey and cold day, a faint sun came to bid farewell to this years shortest day. I went to the hill crest of the Teutoburger Wald, but there the sun was shrouded by fog. I stayed to photograph and enjoy the silent, blue beauty. When the longest night came, the clouds had cleared, and a bright full moon rose behind the trees. I stayed until my hands became too numb to operate the camera.
