Open challenge: Winter Fairytales by Frost

It took a while to reply to this challenge.. But what would be more appropriate than to wait for a good snowfall to capture the spirit of winter fairytales?

It was snowing a bit when I set off. Pure, white snow covered the island. 

And as I was heading home, all you could see was snow. 

This last picture was shot on the frozen sea, towards the city. Normally you'd see the buildings and the city lights.

Open challenge: Winter Fairytales

This week I travelled to Joensuu (for an exam and) to visit friends. I was amazed by the frozen beauty...!

Today in Helsinki we did get still 20 cm more snow. Can't complain about the winter here neither :) .

bonFire: "We had had an excellent day. The fire had died in the fireplace. We were totally ready for sleeping. I thought just to air the cottage a little and then - bed... but yes, we went out with our cameras once more in the chilly weather."

Frost: "Starry night, bright moon. Lying on my back on the porch. The only thing that made me go back inside was the cold weather. I guess the brightest spot on the sky could be Jupiter."

bonFire's "Getting ready for winter"

I started to make jam for the winter already on a very hot day in June. Today I made last pots. Redcurrant, blackcurrant, blueberries, strawberries, rasberries... and now apples.

Challenge #5 - "Getting ready for winter"

Downpour.
Perfect weather for a cup of coffee and catching up with a good friend, and for doing some handicrafts. This beanie will keep a little boy's head warm when it's too cold for rain.

Frost's Response to "Grey"

In a way, this is also a moment in the crossroads.
