Caption

Apple blossoms on a tree in an orchard in the Eastern Ore Mountains. A cold snap led to late snowfall in the low mountain range and jeopardised numerous crops. However, snow also protects the blossoms, as it cannot get lower than zero degrees under the snow cover, Bannewitz, Saxony, Germany, Europe
