Magical pictures of picturesque places before and during winter

Winter is in full swing, especially for those who live in the middle zone and to the north. It's hard not to notice how much nature has changed. The trees have long since shed their leaves and become covered with ice and snow, the birds have flown south or are splashing in small holes of frozen reservoirs, the grass has hidden under the snow for a long time ... Familiar landscapes seem completely different under the influence of winter magic.

We offer to compare photos of the most picturesque places on the planet in summer and winter. After all, winter has a charm, and even if you are not a fan of the cold season, surely these pictures will inspire you and set you up in a positive way.
