In a week or two from now, I will go up north to visit my daughter. Last year we went in February as well, and visited the Sapmi market, Kiruna and the ice hotel too.
This time we will only visit Umeå, where Emma is studying. Umeå is called ”The city of birch trees” and is a very lovely city even when the birches are covered in snow. Looking forward to going there again! Umeå is a city of culture and has hosted many spectacular events. This February we hope to see the famous snow sculptures.

Wow så vackra bilder! Jag gillar, jag känner kylan 🙂
Jo – det var kallt, men inte till närmelsevis så kallt som den här gången i Umeå. Minus 26 är 10 grader för mycket på fel håll…
Enjoy your trip, Ann-Christine! It’s wonderful spending time with the kids, isn’t it? We just saw our son a few weeks ago. We go 4 or 5 months between visits, so I really treasure those moments! I’m sure you do too.
Thank you, Patti, yes. Time with them is the most precious💜
Hur kan jag ha missat det här inlägget 😕 Fantastiska bilder allihop!
Have a wonderful trip.
Thank you – seeing my daughter is wonderful😊
Enjoy your time with your daughter and looking forward to your photos

What a superb cultural experience that must be.
It is, thank you. People up north are heavenly down-to-earth and ”real” as my daughter puts it.
Get the thermals out and keep your batteries warm!! look forward to joining your virtual trip when you return. Enjoy 🙂

Absolutely love that shot with the chairs Leya – wonderful
The kicksled is very much in use up north. I have one as well – used it much when I was younger and we still had lots of snow!
Lovely shots, A-C. I hope you and your daughter have a most wonderful time and lots of snow! 🙂 I look forward to seeing your photos when you return.
