November is when we start waiting for the first snow. And when it finally arrives, the landscape completely transforms, dressing in a whole new look. On one hand, it brings silence, softening sounds and muting colors; on the other, we know it also carries new energy and vitality, marking the beginning of all the activities that make winter such a spectacular season.
