The other day I decided to experiment taking pics of soap bubbles when it was cold outside, inspired by these brilliant shots, but I had a hard time creating unbroken ones, because many burst out the second they touched the snow. I only managed to get two smaller bubbles and by then it was really tricky to take the photos because I was losing daylight already, but here are two photos anyway that came out decent. The other photos were all a failure ha ha ha...
Then I shoveled a little bit of snow from the ground and noticed very lovely ice crystals (the temperature was around -11'C). It was hard to have a steady hand to take these photos because I took plenty of photos already and I was wearing a thinner pair of gloves, so my fingers were getting cold (it got harder to press the button, also because I had had to look up to take these photos).
Oh, and almost forgot. I also noticed that my bike was covered with so many ice crystals. Here's one photo:
I was so happy when we had a chance to go to the cabin and the weather report promised good weather. It was around -15'C when we arrived at the cabin yesterday evening, though the temperature dropped down a little this morning (about -18'C). The dusk was gorgeous as well, though I didn't manage to capture a good picture of it. There was a stripe of dark reddish colour above the horizon followed by dark blue. Ahhhh...just amazing!
Thankfully this time it didn't take too long for hubby to drill the frozen lake to get some water to warm up the sauna he he he he he...we went to bed rather early, actually, but we woke up pretty early as well as a result.
Anyway, here are some photos that I took...
A pic of me lying down on the frozen lake. The cabin is right behind me. If you wonder about the angle, I only brought my small tripod with me (very handy and light), thus the weird low angle ha ha...
Another pic of me, facing the frozen lake he he...In this era, it's so darn easy to be narcissistic. Dohhhhh!!! LOL!!!
My footsteps and maybe a reindeer's tracks hmmmm...Actually correction, a friend's son took a look at the pic and said that one of the tracks is definitely a hare's and the other one is possibly a fox's tracks, but most likely the tracks of two hares.
Just having fun on the frozen lake he he...
The moon...
Lots of ice crystal pics along with their zoomed-up versions. I cropped up different sections of the ice crystal photos to give better view.
I'm gonna be busy starting tomorrow, but at the end of net week I'll have some days off, so we'll see what I can do about blog-hopping.
