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!


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!


The ice is settling in the fjord and the last boat out left a trail.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!


This is one of my favourite places, Tjurpannan nature preserve close to my home. Normally it’s quite easily accessible but this day I had to walk 5km in 35 centimetres of snow and at -15°C. I think it was worth it!
Some struggles are worth having, ha de Gött!






Different angles of the same waterfall outside Munkedal, Sweden. The top part is quite easy to reach but the lower part with a higher drop is not so easy with the ice and mud.
Remember to keep the lens dry, ha de Gött!


Even if the winter weather often is dull and grey you can find something interesting for your lens.
Here I found two bridges with the same curvature. The high bridge named Sundsbron was built in 1963 over the small strait between the two lakes Ellenösjön and Östtersjön. The road 172 from Uddevalla to Arvika runs over it. For the old iron bridge in the foreground I could not find any information when it was built. A qualified guess based on another bridge with the same design I wrote about (link), it was built late 1800 or early 1900.

Even in fog you can find a way, ha de Gött!

Ha de Gött!

I could not pick out my top 10 for 2025 so I choose a theme instead. 2025 was the year of light in my photography, in all shades. When so many things around the world is dark we need to embrace the light. I hope you enjoy.
Ha de Gött in the new year.
