Bring on the cold. This is how I dress for it. I feel so aroused getting a chance to wear my fur coat which is really warm and thigh high boots. Not to mention a thick, warm turtleneck and leather skirt. I just love it.

Went on a beautiful walk along some of the beaches of southern Jæren today together with my mother-in-law.
It's so fascinating to watch the ice by the sea in this cold weather. (Luckily the cold brings something good ツ)

It's been so much colder than usual. All through December it was cold, cloudy, often windy - last year we had 26C (or ~80F) on Christmas Day and spent part of the day at the beach in sun and ocean. I hope this means that spring will be all the better.

Come to me
Do and be done with me
(Cold cold cold)
Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
(Cold cold cold)
Everything I possess
Given with tenderness
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past
Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath
Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes
I want to be with you baby
Slip me inside of your heart
Don't I belong to you baby
Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now come on now come on now
Telling you that
I loved you right from the start...
But the more I want you the less I get
Ain't that just the way things are...
Winter has frozen us
Let love take hold of us
(Cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering
Blue ice is glittering
(Cold cold cold)
Well i finally managed to get this weeks theme done and dusted after a lot of coldness indeed! I woke up this morning and bore two hours of this so i could get a good shot which was funny as wherever i went there were people watching me! Damn you people!! :)
Anyhoo, i had a few ideas of what to do, but in the end i chose this shot as i think the stark reality of being alone with nothing but the openess of nature gave the best impact. After all, we are only human and can only cope with so much.
Now i have to catch up with all your work as i have been slacking, and then i have to get things ready for work, even if it is a foot of snow outside! :P
P.S. i deliberately left out my black border this time as i wanted the image to melt away into the screen like it wasn't even there.
Like many people of a certain age who grew up in Eastern Massachusetts or Rhode Island a visit to this place was a right of passage, particularly during the holiday season. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of cold nights, warm wooden coaches, and twinkling lights beneath stars, and along the bogs of cranberry country. Edaville Railroad was a special place for generations, and it had been more than 35 years since I last visited. Named for its founder, Ellis D. Atwood, who did so much to save the unique two foot gauge equipment, Edaville was later purchased by Nelson Blount of Steamtown fame after Mr. Atwood's tragic death. When Blount also died young in an accident their spirit and dream lived up through successive owners until finally foundering in the early 1990s. Despite most of the classic two foot gauge equipment being repatriated to Maine and the original five and a half mile long loop around Atwood Reservoir being cut back to only two miles Edaville has survived.
For the first time in 35 or more years I returned thanks to the suggestion of a friend for a fun little photo charter featuring two steam locomotives, sponsored by the railroad and coordinated by Bill Willis of Precious Escapes Photography (make sure to give him a like or follow if you don't already). The star of the show was Edaville #3, an 0-4-4T Forney type locomotive built by Vulcan Locomotive works in 1913 for Maine's Monson Railroad. It ran on the six mile long pike from Monson Junction to its namesake town until the railroad's demise in 1943, the last common carrier 2 ft gauge railroad in operation in the US. Following the road's abandonment, #3 operated at the original Edaville Railroad for nearly 50 years, and was part of the original collection of equipment that migrated to the then new Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad and Museum in Portland following Edaville Railroad's closure. #3 has been a frequent visitor to other 2 ft gauge recreational railroads in New England when not in Portland and returned to the reestablished Edaville Railroad a few years ago where it continues to operate.

Here she is leading a four car freight consisting of three flat cars and a hopper out of the man made tunnel where the first series of photo runbys were held. For a small locomotive weighing in at about only 17 tons, she sure puts on quite a good show! The cars (three of them at least) recently arrived from South Africa where they once operated on the now closed Avontuur Railway, which at 177 miles was the longest two foot gauge railway ever built. If anyone has more history of these specific cars I'd love to learn more about them.

Toying around with a Mr. Freeze design. Still a work in progress of course, just wanted to post it to get some feedback. Let me know what you guys think.
C&C welcomed and appreciated.
This sweet little Goldfinch is all puffed up trying to keep warm. It and many of his friends are frequent visitors to our feeders.
Cold winter day...not much to do but relax and...

Got this shot just in time -
The Canadian Museum of Science and Technology will be removing two of its iconic lawn displays for safety reasons.
The Atlas Rocket and oil pumpjack have been a part of the museum for more than 40 years, but are deteriorating and must be dismantled.
"Both have weathered the elements for 40 years," said Olivier Bouffard, spokesman for the museum. "The decision to remove them has come down to safety."
