Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Chilled
Cee wants a real chill this week – so my choice is Iceland. A chilled greenhouse(!) and tough winds with drifting snow.
Winter
Monday Dreaming
This gloomy Monday I went back to one of my favorite hiking spots –
– in pictures only…because this year has not allowed any hiking there due to the extremeweather with heavy rains.
But, as soon as the weather allows it – I will return, and enjoy the serenity here.
The stillness and solitude is tangible-
Going North
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.

Why this cake?
Because my daughter loves baking smashing things just for fun!

Hi, Totti here…
… just want to tell you, that this day was worth waiting for! My Day. My kind of weather.
Cold (-10 C), snow and sun. Hope you enjoyed this day just as much as I did!
Long walks, racing, digging, rolling…
…and eating ”shit” (as my master puts it…)…I find hidden under the snow…
– and then more walking again. Cannot get enough of that…
And of course – playing around, loving my family ♥♥♥♥♥
Skiing?
In the header – next year’s Christmas trees, practicing? About 20 cm tall.
Whenever there are a few inches of white on the ground – it is time to hurry out skiing. At least if you live in the southernmost part of Sweden. It might be the only chance you get this winter…
Luckily, I caught a glimpse of one or two of those sporty guys yesterday. Can you find them behind the trees?
Bridges and Paths
More from Åsum and the softly winding path. To get to the church, there is an old stone bridge, but traffic was no longer allowed there. Maybe due to the heavy rains we have had. Trees can no longer find solid ground for their roots, and consequently they fall to the ground. Some fall into the river and become natural bridges.
Enchanted Forest
Snowy Mist
Snow arrived during the night, and then the temperature rose above zero C. I had a lovely forest walk with Totti – light shifting and no wind.
The first half hour, there was not much mist, but …tangible silence.
Have you ever noticed how the colours – the few colours there are during winter –
seem to stand out in the mist?
With the fading light, you feel like walking inside a movie landscape. And you keep looking for a glimpse of the sky – just to stay real.
And for well known landmarks…
…to keep track of where you are.
In the open landscape, the sight is even worse – luckily the snow reveals my path.
As a farewell of this beautiful day- the light returns for my last 10 minutes of hiking.
