In case I haven't already mentioned it, I'd like to take a moment to say I DON'T LIKE WINTER!!  Never have.  I've tried to embrace it.  I've tried not to fight it.  I've tried to convince myself the darkness is actually quite cosy (it is when you're sitting by the fire, sipping a cup of steaming tea at 8pm in the evening - that's about it!).  In an effort to get through this looooong Swedish winter, I've been attempting to enjoy (I use that word loosely) the snow, photographically speaking that is.  I've risked frost bitten fingers to get the kind of snow images that will hopefully help me convince myself this winter business isn't all bad.  This is me, kicking your ass, winter.
