Not so much winter today as it's plus degrees.
I'd be happy if it returned, the spring will come, but it doesn't need to come in February thank you! ;)
First post this year. A lovely day out had in the beginning of the new year with loveliest sunshine. I hope you all have had a great festive season. May the new year bring all good things. Looking forward to see what creative and fantastic images you'll post, all Flickr friends : )
I'm taking the opportunity to enjoy the winter wonderland when it last. Yesterday's walk through the woodland was lovely and refreshing. There's more images from yesterday and today to be posted. Stay tuned :)
As we still are in the winter months, I thought for posting more of the images from January. Wishing you a nice Friday and weekend.

I could never stop observing the little world, the little details amongst all the bigger things and vast landscapes. You've probably noticed that in quite a few of my images. Love the rim-like light of the frost and the almost smoky sunlight. Underneath the thick frost, I believe there's blueberry or lingonberry leaves winter-resting before the summer.... I can't wait to have a taste of that as well!
Cliff face at Loch na Keal, I loved how the winter light lit up the scene and made it look like autumn instead of January,
Not to worry, this is not taken this month. Just went through the archive from January's images taken in Sweden. Love the soft winter afternoon (chilly) light.
I had hoped to spot some wildlife to photograph against the white snow, but the only sign of life was the dear and hare tracks.
During my stay in Lisbon in January 2025, I explored the lively neighborhood of São Paulo, a fantastic spot for silhouette photography. Its narrow streets, iconic yellow trams, and views of the Tagus River provide stunning backdrops. Silhouettes depend on contrast—dark subjects against bright backgrounds like vivid sunsets or glowing city lights. January’s low sun offered intriguing shadows and warm light throughout the day. To capture the perfect shot, I often knelt low to frame my subjects against the brilliant light. Timing is essential in photography. With these photos, I aimed to move beyond typical tourist postcards and capture the unique essence of the moment, creating memories as distinctive as the place itself – São Paulo, Lisbon, Portugal
During my stay in Lisbon in January 2025, I explored the vibrant neighborhood of São Paulo, a prime spot for silhouette photography. Its narrow streets, iconic yellow trams, and stunning views of the Tagus River create perfect backdrops.
Silhouette photography relies on strong contrast, with dark subjects against bright backgrounds like vivid sunsets or city lights. The low January sun casts dramatic shadows and warm light, allowing me to capture compelling shots. I often knelt to frame my subjects perfectly.

Tour to Norway Arctic. Day 04 Tromsø - The Arctic Cathedral
Over the bridge from the city to the community Tromsdalen we can see the distinct profile of Tromsdalen Church - mostly called The Arctic Cathedral. (Also this photo from my stop on the Northern bound coastal express). Photo from 14.14 in the afternoon.
Some more from wiki:
The Arctic Cathedral, formally known as Tromsdalen Church, is a church in the city of Tromsø in Troms county, Norway. The church is commonly nicknamed the Ishavskatedralen, literally "The Cathedral of the Arctic Sea" or "Arctic Cathedral". The church was built in 1965 in the Tromsdalen valley and it is a parish church and not, in fact, a cathedral as it is commonly called.
The church was designed by the architect Jan Inge Hovig and is built mainly of concrete.The church is probably the most famous landmark in Tromsø, although Tromsø does have another church of interest, Tromsø Cathedral, which is noted for being the only wooden cathedral in Norway.
