If you look at the photo I posted yesterday, you can see this section near the center. There was so much to photograph in this area. Many of my recently posted ice photos were taken here, with more to come. It hasn't been very icy in January, but February holds more promise for good ice returning.
We visited this curious ice hotel near Alta town in Norway, but no way to sleep in these cold temperatures!
An ice hotel is a temporary hotel made up of snow and sculpted blocks of ice. Ice hotels are dependent on sub-freezing temperatures, are constructed from ice and snow and typically have to be rebuilt every year. Ice hotels exist in several countries, and they have varying construction styles, services and amenities, the latter of which may include ice bars, restaurants, chapels, saunas and hot tubs.
Sorrisniva Ice Hotel, in the outlying area of Alta, has been rebuilt yearly since 1999. It is Europe’s northernmost ice hotel, as it is in the Finnmark region and is approximately 250 km from North Cape. The 2,000 square meter hotel has 30 rooms, including two suites. It is decorated with ice sculptures and ice furnishings, including lighting systems which enhance the different types of crystalline formations. Besides the bedrooms the hotel contains an ice chapel, ice gallery and ice bar where drinks are served in glasses made of ice. The ice sculptures at the hotel change yearly. To stay warm when sleeping, guests use sleeping bags that sit on top of reindeer hides.

Another from our holiday back in January. The wonderful Franz Josef Glacier on NZ's West Coast.
And because it looks so small on the screen compared to my favourite squares, try it Bigger
These icy feather shapes formed on my windscreen over night. I thought they were very strange, I've never seen them before.
Zowel de reizigers die met interurban-motorwagen 30 in East Troy zijn aangekomen als de inzittenden van de Studebaker Commander Coupe kunnen genieten van een ijsje uit de Ice Cream Parlor.
De zware vierassige door Standard Steel gebouwde motorwagen is met bouwjaar 1929 bijna een kwart eeuw ouder dan de gestrooomlijnde coupé uit 1953.
De auto's staan in Church Street waar door middel van het waarschuwingsbord bij de overweg de aandacht op drie kruisende sporen gevestigd wordt. Op hoogtijdagen is het hier inderdaad een komen en gaan van historische railvoertuigen.
Amerikaanse "Interurbans" zijn bijeengebracht in het "gelijknamige album".

Laukvik, Lofoten. 172 extremely cold seconds of exposure. The wind was coming in from the sea, freezing the water on the rocks in the foreground. I hope you like the image, thank you very much for viewing.
want some (?) :)
This is what it looks like during winter at my uncle's house :)

Vestvågøy, Lofoten. The weather changed from a beautiful, calm sunrise to wind and snow as I got down at my knees to find a composition. I feel that the image in a way captured the rapid transformation from a beautiful morning scene to a much more hostile landscape. Thank you for viewing!
