Nysnö (Newsnow) - Winter Forest

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Switzerland is actually blessed with two distinct mountain ranges: the more well-known Alps, which cover most of the southern part of the country, and the much less well-known Jura Mountains, which run through a portion of northwestern Switzerland and into France. In this outstanding drone video by top contributor Capchure.ch, you'll get an aerial view of the Jura Mountains covered by a fresh layer of snow. For reasons you'll understand when you see the video, the name "Jura" is derived from the Celtic word for "forest".

Nysnö (Newsnow) is the Nordic word for new Snow. This snow is spiritually quite important, as it transforms the landscape from a dark and wet Autumn landscape, into a bright white winter scene, something which has a huge impact in a part of the world where you in wintertime only see the sun for an hour or so, spending the rest of the day in dawn, twilight or pitch black darkness. And not only does it brighten up the landscape, it also silences it, further adding to the sense of tranquility and calm.
