Kafka - What lovely pictures, I feel as if I have been now.
Janine - Your son has definitely an eye for photography, some of his angles, etc., were very picturesque. I am hoping that he uses this skill on photographing his new daugher, too!
Claes - As always, you have entertained us with more of your skill as a photographer. I love the ideas that you have! Great photos!
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

We spent part of new years eve at Sundbyholm, at Lake Mälaren outside Eskilstuna. During the summer this is a very popular beach, but it can be quite busy at winter as well. Pastimes differ a bit, though:

Photos of this lake, etc are awesome, Claes....brrrr....looks cold there.
Now are they a sort of ski skate - photo of three people on the ice?
Never have seen them before this.
My favorites are the amazing ice formations and the branches covered with them. Beautiful photography, as usual.

It was. There is something the pictures cannot convey: wind. It was quite windy, and up north they actually had a storm tonight.
Those are long distance skates, intended for cross country... err... ice skating.
That was a stroke of luck: we don't have much snow, but we got that instead.

Wait a minute - then who gets credit for the great photos?

Fantastic; thanks for the dynamite fireworks! They are not easy to photograph and you captured those perfectly. I love the two photos with the frost and the ropes/wooden dock...outstanding and very textural...I also like the frozen orange thingies(?)...those three are prize-winners!...some of your very best, Claes!

Wonderful pictures, Claes!
Optima dies ... prima fugit
Nothing too fancy or artistic here. I took these snapshots, while walking around my snowy neighborhood, the day after the storm (late afternoon). For once, we had a half decent snowstorm - the neighborhood kids loved it! I don't think we have had a snow this nice, for years; these were taken in 03; I figured I better post them, while it is still winter, or I will never get to it....these are just 6 yrs late...better late then never....haha
This first house is my house.
My house with ice-sickles.
Time to shovel the walks.
Late day shoveling out.
Footprints leading to the lake behind my house....lake is the large expanse of white snow.
Neighborhood kids enjoying the snow
The lake is beyond the houses.
He was not too thrilled having to shovel...poor kid...
My backyard at night...think these are from a different snowstorm.
Three that I took from my upstairs window at night; a kind of an experiment and played with the tones later on.
I hope I did not repeat any..if I did forgive me the error.

Thanks, Virgil, did you notice how slanted some of my horizon lines were? I should take my own advice, huh? Yes, those kids now are grown - the photos were actually taken about 6 yrs ago. Nice kids they were - one of my neighbor's grand-kids and their friends. They had a great time that day finally getting to play in the snow. Heard you got an inch or so up your way. Nothing here but frigidNice photos Janine.temperatures....brrrr...
I promised Saphira I would post these; she wanted to see what snow looked like in NJ.
