Afternoon by the lake

afternoon, the sun was setting and the cold nippy weather was felt on my fingers as I stopped to take photos by the lake of boats that were turned down for winter.

First snow

I have to believe that winter is here, even thought this snow melted quickly, but it is a sign that one cannot ignore.

This photo with its soft light coming throught the trees, the girls walking on the side of the road, it just spell summer to me. Do you agree with me?

Skywatch Friday – Lapland blues

These are taken in Ylitornio in Lapland around 4 PM, with my mobile phone, so the quality is not totally up to my expectations, as we took a snow scooter ride through the woods. Untouched nature around us what can I say, I have never been a winter person, but the nature there in all blue tones in just gorgeous.
