Winter-time archipelago

Some friends from out-of-town (but who used to be in-towners) were here today, and we went for a little excursion to the very, very frozen archipelago, more exactly Hönö. As with many of the islands outside this city you have to get on the car ferry to get there.















Did I mention it was quite cold? And very, very slippery at some places. I almost dropped my camera at a few occasions.





This young lady has already learnt a few of the very important things in life, like that cameras are much more interesting than crazy grown-ups making strange noises...



On the way back, we stopped at Masthuggskyrkan, to look at the view of the city. It was nice but very cold and windy up there so it was a short stop...

A January walk in the "park"

The original plan for yesterday was indoor work out and apartment cleaning. However, I needed some bread-baking therapy and it seemed stupid to clean the kitchen before that event, and once I was done, I spotted blue skies and decided that a 2+hour outdoor walk probably was better for me. (Apartment cleaning and indoor work out happened today.)



It's still winter here, and quite beautiful at times.



Cross country tracks on a frozen lake.



"Ice falls".



Another frozen lake.



But the best ice for skating was not on any of the frozen lakes but actually on the road between the parking lot and the lake.

Long time no blogging...

More is to come soon, but here is at least a few snaps from the past weekend (apparently, everyone else was inside watching alpine/cross country/biathlon) because I was all alone outside...




It was sort of dark and grey which might be another explanation to why I was all alone out doors...



We still have snow here....



A different take on bike-lights...



And a very random sign for a "Van Gogh-studio" that I happened to pass by during my (almost) random walk...
