Ice is gone, new life awaits. - And so it is also in our lives :-)
Unfortunately, there are also other aspects to getting older. Since yesterday, I'm being troubled by some unexpected back pain. Ordinary sitting is no good, and sleeping was difficult. Having dealt with daily back aches ever since 1988, this should be business as usual. Yet this feels different and somehow deeper. I'm taking it very easy and canceling some activities. And then what?

(Btw the same spot was also photographed on 2 July, 2007. "Sans paroles".)
