Winter has arrived, and with it the coldest night in November for 37 years. -11,7 to be exact.
Shades of greatness
I missed the self portrait challenge on photofriday last week, but I thought that maybe a sort of “not quite a self portrait” photo might be cool this week.
The sculpture
…well nearly. It could have been a sculpture, but it’s really just a climbing frame. The winter sunset frames it nicely though.
Nature is strange
The record just keeps being extended. 60 days now, and still counting. Having said that, and fed up as I am of snow, it’s much more pleasant to watch the snow falling gently as opposed to rain pouring. Photofriday has Nature as the challenge this week.
All on my own I sit here in the cold
…but the sunset is spectacular and the weather is great:) Think positive!
Emerging dog
The recent snowfall was a bit annoying for those of us who’re not dogs, but you can’t help but smile when she so obviously enjoys the winter conditions.
46 days
We set a record today. In all the years since Sola outside Stavanger has been the official weather station,(since 1952) there has never been snow for 46 consecutive days. It looks like it’s going to last for at least another week too, so the record should be safe for another 56 years.
A hidden side of Rogaland
I had never been out to Eikeland before, but a well judged wrong turn brought me there. Perfect for a little exploring and some photography.
Skating ghosts
As darkness fell at Mosvannet last night, some of the kids that were skating had head torches so that they could carry on playing even when there was no light.
Frozen wire, frozen sheep.
The joys of having a day ot two off are many. Chief among them is to be able to go on little photo excursions around the area. The sheep at Undheim thought I was mad, but who are they to judge? At least I could get in a car and drive away:)
Frozen in space
I have a glass veranda, and on it this morning were…..crystals that looked just like snowflakes:) Winter can be beautiful when it wants.
