Foggy

 

The rest of the week after Christmas Eve can be summarized "grey and foggy". Somehow the fog outdoors seems to creep into my brain as well. I'll be back when it clears up... 😉

Fog & Frost

Today a combination of fog and frost made my surroundings more interesting again... I'll leave you to your own contemplations while browsing through my photos - just as I tend to let my own mind wander while out walking!

Winter Fog (2)

 Walk continued from my previous post...

"Narnia" scene from the old cemetery (which I walked across to get down to the riverside).

I'm kind of fascinated with the 'skyscrapers' almost disappearing in the fog, until you start getting close enough...

 It had been cold enough for a while for the river to freeze along the shores.

"Hey, guys... I see a human on the shore... Maybe she's brought food?" 

 

"Pfft... No food... We turn our backs on you, then..."

 

Can you spot the birds sitting on top of the tree in the background? My camera was able to zoom them in... Crows or jackdaws, not sure which...

Winter Fog (1)

The day after I was out taking photos of "white open spaces" in the sun (previous post), we had a different variety of winter weather: It was still cold (around -10°C in the morning), but at the same time foggy. A rather unusual combination - which made me take the camera for another walk around the neighbourhood. 

It was very still, with everything covered in a layer of frost on top of the snow, and the fog made the distant background blurry...

My primary "goal" for the walk was the main post office down by the railway, to post my last few Christmas cards. Passing some streets with old houses on the way.

Someone had been cutting down or trimming a tree, but had not had time to clear away the branches before the snow came.

At this house, they always have a "Christmas Goat" made of spruce twigs beneath this tree.

My goal: The special red letter box, only for Christmas cards within Sweden. 

Our usual letter boxes are yellow. I also intended to take a photo from further away of the whole row of them (this red one standing next to three yellow ones) - but there was a never-ending queue of cars waiting to stop next to them (and blocking the view)... Never mind!

I noticed a nice new iron fence in front of one house

Getting back to the old cemetery, I decided to extend my walk by a turn down to the riverside as well. I think I'll save the rest of the photos for another post, though!
