Scandinavian Winter: December in Norway

December came and brought white fluffy snow. A bit too cold, a bit too dark, and too festive. It is a busy month with lots of bright decorations to make up for the reduced time of sunshine but who doesn't like it! I am sure that sometimes, right after sunset I can hear the sleigh bells. Can you?

And now, enjoy December in Norway the way I've captured it.

I just so believe in the power of free software... I hope I will find a better way to connect your awesome photos to the project! Thank you for participating!

  7. Sonya,
    These images are beautiful! I love the one with the white houses and roof tops...but they are all stunning! How do you get such crisp images? Really lovely.

  8. These are so wonderful images! All of them! So good you have snow. Switzerland is still without it, but I hope it will change before Christmas or we will have to go searching for snow higher up in mountains :-)

  16. These photos are so amazing - thank you for sharing!

  17. Thank you all for such wonderful feedback! I love sharing my photos with you!

    Julia, the crispness of the images is worked upon long and hard. Check my comment on your blog for the answer.

    aboutgoodness, you are lucky to live so close to the Swiss Alps! Are you a skier?

    Taylor, even if you don't get any snow, I would still enjoy your photos immensely. You know, sometimes December is not about snow. Plus, you had some in October, right?

    Tisha, thank you! I just wanted to make clear that this is not a lake but the North Sea. It is surprisingly calm in winter, isn't it!

    Paige, thanks for pinning, you finally turned me into a pinner as well.

  18. Aw, thanks, Sonya! Yeah, we did have some snow in late October...then it warmed up again, LOL! Crazy weather. ;) I may have a few previously unshared photos from Winter Storm Alfred I could put in a post...we'll see, I'll keep it in mind! :)

  19. Wow, Sonya, so beautiful I'm just gazing and sighing at your photos! I'm sure it must be cold with all that snow, but it's so gorgeous I think I'd hardly notice. I'm going to try and find time to get out and take some photos so I can link up too, though sad to say it looks nothing like your photos around here right now.

  20. Oh Mary, please do! I am starting to get addicted to these case studies of the seasons around the world we are organizing! I am sure you will take stunning photos as well. I have been watching you. B-)
