There was no real winter in the Upper Rhine Valley this year, but exactly on the spring equinox the weather turned cold and it started snowing until Sunday noon - something like a bad joke from the atmosphere.

Kaiserstuhl is the warmest region of Germany where snow is a rare event. The Pasque Flowers should be blossoming there around the equinox and the cherries not much later.

I chose this place because it has multiple relations to the atmosphere, but when I reached there I saw that it had even some more:

  • Atmos is greek for mist, and there was a lot of mist this evening.
  • The sunset together with the remaining snow created a special atmosphere.
  • The Kaiserstuhl is an ancient volcano. The source of our atmosphere was exhaled by volcanoes.
  • The soil there is very fertile because it consists mainly of loess - dust created by the ice age glaciers, which was transported and deposited by the wind.


...atmosphere anywhere. In fact we are children of the atmosphere and if one looks closer even things that at a first glance have nothing to do with the atmosphere are somehow related.
