The first snow is here. On the east coast of Sweden they've had a lot more (really a lot). Here, just about enough to cover the ground, and make the streets and walkways treacherously icy. But Monday afternoon was sunny, and I ventured out for a while (with studded boots + walking poles for support)... (Saving some photos for another day, as for some reason I got trouble with uploading them half way into this post.) The title I borrowed from a favourite CD by Enya.

I like Enya, and have at least one if her C.D.'s. I did not recognize the title of this song, but recognized it as soon as I played it. SO glad you got home safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny. I'd have turned around sooner if I hadn't felt safe!
DeleteThat is the perfect winter mood song by Enya. The first winter snow is so pretty and clean, and I like the photo of the snow on the top of the rounded section of the iron fence.
ReplyDeleteTerra, the first snow does have a certain charm, at least when it's not too slushy - and when I don't really "have to" go anywhere special... :)
DeleteLike Terra, I like the photo of the rounded fence, but they are all beautiful, of course. The first snow is always exciting, isn't it! We've yet to see ours, but I can wait :-)
ReplyDeleteMeike, if it was up to me to decide, I could have waited a bit longer, too! ;-)
DeleteAmazing winter scenes. Such beauty in the stillness of it!

Thanks Mersad. I just linked this post to "Through My Lens" as well.
ReplyDeleteThe snow pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I would not want to try and walk in it but I'm glad you took safety measures and did okay. It's absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra. 3-4 winter months ahead; so will just have to (re)learn to cope with it the best I can... ;-)
DeleteThe snow is such a contrast to all those beautiful summer photos! It's just as photogenic, and fun to walk through as long as it's safe underfoot.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the photo with the lanterns.
Beautiful snow, we get it on the mountains here but not at ground level.
