Enter the Light

Today started out at -23C, but We are slowly leaving the dark time of year behind us. The light is changing, the days are getting longer and people are spending more time outside again. The air sparkles with tiny illuminated ice crystals, leafless trees are laced with a billion diamonds and behind a tangle of frozen branches, there it is, the sun!

I'm often jealous of photographers in warmer parts of the world, of the warm sunsets, bright colours unhidden by snow and ice. At the same time I count myself as fortunate to have the opportunity to experience this winter wonderland in all it's icy glory. These three photographs were all taken within a 50 metre radius of our house.

Hej!
Trevlig blogg du har och mycket fina bilder. Håkan T (din kollega och min sambo) tipsade mig om din blogg.

Måste fråga dig hur du lyckats få snön så vit i dina vinterbilder - ofta ser den mer eller mindre gul ut. Vilken vitbalans har du kört på?

Hälsar
