As a final reflection, this images show us some stuff that may seem obvious for some people but not for others.
First one being that people loves to be happy, free and to have fun in nature. After many lockdowns, restrictions, stupid laws and economical problems, events like this historical snow conditions stop everything to give us a time to take a breather and enjoy and admire nature while forgetting everything else.
And the second one being that nature always claims its place (as it should be) she doesn't care about how busy our insignificant lives are.

People wants happiness and freedom and Nature is clever and unforgiving. Let's not forget!
This is how snow has painted our country in white

Every plant, every animal, even every mining complex, every landscape, has its reason for being. They are not within our reach by pure chance or whim, but are part of ourselves. Man is not a UFO from a distant galaxy; man is a poem woven with the mist of dawn, with the colour of flowers, with the song of birds, with the howl of the wolf or the roar of the lion.

🇪🇸 El Talgo III comenzó su servicio para RENFE en 1964, y hasta 2010 fue un icono de la red ferroviaria española. Con la implementación de la pionera tecnología de rodadura desplazable se posibilitó el cruce automático de la frontera hispano-francesa, salvando el cambio entre el ancho de vía ibérico y el internacional. En 1966 se convirtió en el primer tren español en romper la barrera de los 200 km/h. Es el único hasta la fecha que ha ingresado en el exclusivo Club Trans-Europe-Express, que agrupa las líneas férreas que enlazan las principales capitales del continente.
🇬🇧 Talgo III started its services for RENFE in 1964, and, until 2010, it was an icon of the Spanish railway network. Thanks to the pioneering moveable rolling technology, the authomatic crossing of the Spanish-French border became posible, solving the difference between Iberian and International Gauge. In 1966, it became the first Spanish train to reach 200 km/h speed. Until current date, it is the only one admitted in the exclusive Trans-Europe Express Club, which designates the railway routes between the main capitals of the continent.
🇪🇸 En la arrasada España de la posguerra, la empresa Talgo lideró la rehabilitación del parque ferroviario nacional. Al ser inasequible el seguro de transporte de las locomotoras encargadas a Estados Unidos, la empresa rogó por su llegada intactas la Virgen María. Escuchadas sus oraciones, se implantó la tradición de imponer a estas máquinas nombres de advocaciones marianas.

🇬🇧 In the erased Post-Civil War Spain, Talgo leaded the recovery of the national railway material. Being unaffordable the transport insurance for the locomotives coming from USA, the Company prayed to Virgin Mary for their safe arrival. As the prayers were listened, it became a tradition to name these machines like images of Our Lady.
