I’m not sure why, but this house caught my eye as I walked around on the streets of Kissamos in the early evening warmth. Maybe it was the blue sky above, the white stairs down to the street or the trees in the garden. Maybe it was all of those things…

I titled this photo “Evening walk”, but actually it’s only afternoon. During winter in Sweden, the sun sets pretty early in the day. This day I was actually a bit nervous that it would go down too fast, so that I wouldn’t find my way back. The snow was pretty deep and I wasn’t really in the mood for wandering around in the snow in the dark.

For some reason I have a soft spot for bokeh pictures. I’m not sure where I took this, but I think it is somewhere in Thailand. It’s a little hard to discern…​

The trees are sparse on the mountain. This one was one of the tallest close to the top, but it seemed to struggle a bit with the weight of winter. I almost felt a little sorry for it.

When zooming in on the frost from last night, I can’t really decide if it looks intimidating and hostile, or fragile and beautiful. Perhaps it’s both hostile and beautiful…​

Due to climate changes, the trees are spreading higher and higher up on the mountain tops. It was difficult to find a clear view of the setting sun, but at least I saw some nice colors between the tops.​

The depth of the snow varied from 30-60 cm, it was cold and windy and not very pleasant at all. The view was rather nice though and I saw this winter tree watching the sun set behind the moutain tops. So it was a quite nice experience anyway.

Finally we got to see a real winter landscape. And the light… Oh, I really do like this blue light in the sky.

I took this photo with my iPhone 11 Pro and I think the phone did a pretty good job.​

We rented a small apartment in Kuala Lumpur. It was not much to cheer for, but the location was good. We couldn’t sleep with open window though, but for some reason I liked the view of the evening traffic in a city that never sleeps.
