Ferry on Lake Storsjön, Östersund ~ county of Jämtland
Sweden was dreamy. The few hours of daylight provided astonishing skies and breathtaking sunsets. This image of the ferry gliding back and forth along the narrow liquid channel carved out of the solid frozen lake was taken a few days ago at 3 pm. I was standing in the middle of the "ice road" on a thick glacial surface, shuddering not from the -22°C (-7.6°F) outside temperature, but from the fear of hearing a creak beneath my frozen toes.
It was a wonderful experience and lots of fun, but it's good to be back home.
Ohhhh!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back.
That is a beautiful and cold looking scene.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Gorgeous sunset, but I can sympathize with your trepidation about standing upon the ice.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Will you be showing us more from your trip?
ReplyDeleteLoved this post, Eleonora! It makes me cold just looking at the photo...though there's certainly a quiet and serene beauty to scenes from the far north. It reminds me of Alaska, where I lived for several years.
ReplyDeleteHow sad to see the warm sun set into the hills...it does make for beautiful photos though, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteNice to be back in Rome, I guess, but I see you did enjoy the difference between the not so cold Rome and very cold Scandinavian countries at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time, but I would be scared to stand on the ice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sight. Glad you returned homes safe and sound.
