Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside

From WordPress this week – Inside. And this is what happens to troublesome students…

Single ones are put in a wooden box…with a light bulb of course…

…and if they are many – we just lock them up in a wind turbine – no light!

Frozen Gems – Ristafallet och Tännforsen – A John Bauer and J.R.R. Tolkien dream

Maria guidade mig till två underbara vattenfall som jag bara sett sommartid,  som ung i slutet av 70-talet. De är bedövande vackra båda – Ristafallet och Tännforsen. Och vintertid är de något helt annat – fullständigt förtrollande. Därav rubrikens Bauer och Tolkien.

Maria guided me to two wonderful waterfalls, Ristafallet and Tännforsen – the two of which I had only seen in summertime when I was young. During winter they are maybe even more beautiful, enchanting and enigmatic. Like something from the famous Swedish illustrator John Bauer or J.R.R. Tolkien. For more facts about Ristafallet, click the link to Maria’s post: Ristafallet

Vi började med Ristafallet, det mindre av de två. För utförliga fakta och fina sommarbilder, klicka på denna länk till Marias blogginlägg: Ristafallet

Fantastiskt vackert, men än mer fantastiskt skulle det bli vid Tännforsen. Tännforsen som ju är Sveriges största fors, fryser också till på vintern och bildar de mest spektakulära formationer.

Even more beautiful was Tännforsen, the largest waterfall in Sweden, when frozen into spectacular formations. The falls are iIlluminated in the night, but we visited in daylight. The path down to the water was very slippery and we had to use spikes to get there.

Avslutningsvis besökte vi ett litet iskapell vid Tännforsen. Mycket stämningsfullt och vackert – en plats att gifta sig på.

Finally we visited a chapel here, built in snow and ice. Very beautiful and popular to get married in.

We’re stunned by the diversity of rocks. This stuff looks like it was put into a blender.
