Snow

Snow fell almost every day here last week, although it never amounted to more than an inch or two’s thickness on the ground. I had it in mind to take some photographs of the white-blanketed town & its environs, but the skies remained so dully & unphotogenically grey that I became quite discouraged.

Friday morning, though, dawned bright & clear, so I brought out the camera and, firstly, took a picture of the view from our apartment’s kitchen window - this is a vista that I never tire of looking upon, and one that a dusting of snow only serves to enhance.

Next, I took a slight detour as I walked to catch the bus for work, and snapped Trefalhigetskyrkan (Trinity Church), whose dome you see in the detail above.

Once at the office, I made my way down to the terrace overlooking the water out front (from where I took these a couple of weeks back), and took a half-dozen or so snaps, including one of some snow-covered trees (above) and one of a man and his dog contemplating the frozen sea (below).

Later that evening, more snow came, but it turned to rain overnight. A couple of rainy days later, all the snow had gone. Click on the details above to see the full photographs from which they were excerpted.
