Defeated and upside down. Covered by the jaws of cold winter snow lies a boat named The Shark.
Beware of sharp teeth, ha de Gött!

A Winter saga
This winter has been unusually cold for a long period with snow and ice. When I was a child, a long time ago, winters like this was more normal but with climate change, in resent years more rare. I’m happy to been able to be out and take photos even if the days are short. I can only say, thank you King Frost.
Now the snow is gone and the ice is melting on lakes and fjords. So I made a YouTube video with some of my favourite winter photos. Hope you like it.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!

Beware of ice that cannot be trusted, ha de Gött!
Plate ice
Plate ice is one the wonders of Mother Nature serve us and sometimes she invites to sit down in the sunset.
Video shows how it’s made, ha de Gött!
Morning light
The morning light shines through hundred year old windows. Before this building it was a school for the Salvation Army and was built in 1914. Converted to a hotel in 2004.
See the light, ha de Gött!
Honored
I’m so very honoured to have an artistic interpretation of my photo by the renowned watercolour artist Anna von Elern. They are absolutely amazing. Find out more about Anna here.
Below is my original photo. The light was very dramatic this day and I tried to sneak in a photo session before picking up my son at the bus station. Need I say that he had to wait for me? Don’t worry he did not have to wait out in the cold and he’s 27 years old and very understanding.
Sometimes things end up better than planned, ha de Gött!
Tracks

Winter beach
For a couple of weeks it has been cold below 0°C but the ocean still doesn’t freeze. A strong offshore wind from the northwest and the high content of salt prevents that.
Still, people go swimming even in this. They were skinny dipping so I did not take any pictures of that! It was like a Ingmar Bergman film, even the sky was blushing.
Sometimes you need to see the naked truth, ha de Gött!
Ice is settling
The ice is settling in the fjord and the last boat out left a trail.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!
Snow cover
I just realized editing this photo that it’s unique. The same scene will never appear again. This snow is already gone and even if it will snow again it will at best be, same same but different!
The past is the past but the future is an enigma, ha de Gött!
