A beautiful day

[Mats_A]

After 5 days of snow, wind, snow and then some wind and snow we now have a beautiful morning here in the land "where polar bears roam the streets".
I am free from work today so it is time to load up the trusty Seagull with some HP5+ and go out to "make some reportage".

"Small Town in Winters Grip" I think I will call it. I promise to invite all APUG-members to the big opening at the famous art gallery in Paris or London. Hasn't decided on location yet. Note to self: Discuss venue with manager.

If that doesn't come true maybe I will just post them here.

A happy winters morning to all!

Can't wait for spring to finally come. I am not originally from Warsaw - this long winters on north are depressing ... not good for taking photos...

Well, I was going to complain about our long dark January and February winter nights here in Kentucky, USA. But you two fellows have completely upstaged me. Finland...Warsaw? I concede.

[bdial]

Upstaged indeed, so much for thinking our winters are bad.
But there are signs that the trends of the last few million years will hold, and spring will happen yet again.

Yep, pushing TriX on 800 and more, using Tmax 3200 ... and my favorite films: efke 25, 50, 100, Ilford delta 100 ... they must wait

We had one of the warmest winters ever. Too little rain, strong winds and days that felt like spring or even summer in the middle of winter. I love all four seasons and really want the distinctions between them. I really hope that proper winter hasn't disappeared yet.
Truth be told, good thing we don't get snow down here. I had enough for a lifetime even if I miss it sometimes.

Luckily Winter came on a weekend back in December for us in Oregon so none of the schools had to close. We are in full blooming budding blossom sprouting Spring. I am wondering how well the shutter of the trusty Seagull holds up in the Finland Winter.

We are having record cold temperatures here in Miami. Last night had a low in the upper 30's F. Compare that with the average of 65 F for this time of year.

Just got an e-mail from some family in Hawaii, they were complaining about the 59 degree low they had last month.

They got no sympathy from this Colorado boy.

(Now it's time for me to Google "Hawaii real estate")

[Q.G.]

We (Netherlands - not that much north of Aristotelis) are 'enjoying' one of the coldest winter in years. Go figure.

Not that it is that cold, mind you. No record breaking low temperatures. Just a bit colder and for longer than in years.

And apropos false impressions: when were polar bears last sighted in Finland, Shimoda? About the same time (and as often) as in the hometown of the Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society, right? I.e. never ever?


We had a not so beautiful day. The sun was out, that's not it. But it started with frost and a light dusting of snow.
We have had temperatures of even over 25 degrees centigrade in march over here...

Oh dang.... Just heard we'll get more snow, and the cold will continue...
