All that Glitters is Cold
21/12/2012 30 Comments
This morning dawned with one of those fantastic, cold, clear winters’ mornings under a cloudless sky, but with really low temperatures. The day was absolutely beautiful and, as the sun on the shortest day of the year barely scrapes over the hills surrounding Bergen, it was the perfect day to try and capture the play of slanting sun on the frost covered landscape…
The thinnest branches on the trees are swollen and white with frost, perfect for catching the sun.
Silver ground, bluish ice and sunlit branches.
Heavily frosted trees turn gold in the sun as the firs and pines on the slopes behind glow green.
Ice, snow, frost and sun

You really caught beautiful colours of winter in Norway in all those photographs, really stunning.
Thank you very much indeed
I would love to do a Harry Potter and jump into your pictures! So lovely.
Thank you very much Tahira.
I always wanted to go to Iceland but I think your blog (and your pictures) will soon, change my mind!
I wanna go to Iceland too but Norway is pretty cool I must admit
Love the nature shots!

beautiful photos, I’d forgotten how much I miss the glitter of winter, however, I hate the cold so I’ll have to live vicariously through your photos
I hope I can do it justice
I’m really enjoying your blog! Good luck keeping hold of your sanity, by the way. These winter shots are delightful – I sense you’re settling into Norway just fine! Glad you like “In search of unusual destinations”, by the way! Phil.
Chhers Phil, thanks for dropping by. Norway is cool in every sense of the word
A clever quote, and outstanding scenes too
Thanks again
