Golden Sunrise over the Snowy Elbtalaue Floodplain

There is nothing quite like the stillness and serenity of a winter dawn. This breathtaking photograph captures the magic of the Elbtalaue (Elbe River Valley) during the golden hour, where the crisp morning air meets the fiery hues of the rising sun.

The landscape, draped in a pristine blanket of fresh snow, offers a peaceful, white contrast to the vibrant, intense colors painting the sky. Look closely where the Jeetzel river winds its way through the floodplain, perfectly reflecting this quiet, frozen beauty. An unforgettable moment captured during the perfect winter morning.
