Lots of photos of the winterland called Sweden (Modem burner)

Went out on a walk today with a friend of mine and decided to take some photographs. The weather was excellent - sunny and extremely cold!

Enjoy!










Two suns?

















Hope you liked them! I'm not an experienced photographer, but I do my best

Please, if you have any nice nature pictures, share them!

Carl,

You have totally ruined my day.

Oh how I wish I was in Sweden right now to enjoy that lovely weather.

Let's switch then! I could enjoy a couple of drinks and some sun in Boca Raton .

I'd like to know your story! Were you born here in Sweden or do you have relatives here? What's the backround?

Yes, born and raised in Stockholm.

Left in 1981 when I couldn't take the 2 climates any longer, (weather & economy).

Thanks for the great pics. Cooled me down just looking at them - its 38 degrees C currently where I live in Australia. BTW: Just watched a great movie from Sweden, Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in) which was really chilling in more ways than one!

Thank you all for your kind comments. The frost on trees is even thicker now! I will take some more pictures tomorrow, as I quit school at 11.35am. It is really hard to get decent pics here, as you have to have time between 10am and 15pm in order to get proper lightning . Later than that and the sun has disappeared.

I will take the car to some places with better views

Oh, by the way! George Clooney is coming to our city next week to shoot for his next movie, "The American".

I was never able to take more pictures... It was quite windy, so all the frost blew away

It's not as cold now though! Me likes
