All the fog had frozen onto the tree&#39;s branches during the night, which made for a beautiful view. Then there was this very bright, low wintersun, which made everything just look beautiful and stunning. A lot of people went skating... I haven&#39;t been on iceskates in years and would probably just fall over if I tried. So I did all kinds of dull stuff. Bought a sander to finish up the work I&#39;m doing in my kitchen, got home just in time to catch the postman, who delivered my skiing pants. They&#39;re wonderful and warm, and best of all, cheap! So today when I finally came around to going to the horse, I wasn&#39;t cold at all. Wonderful! Should have bought one years ago.<br /><br />Anyway, pictures. The view from my balcony this morning.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center">&#160;<img alt="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0365.jpg" src="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0365.jpg" /><br /></div><p><br /><div style="text-align: left">And the beautiful roses in my living room. I get them from one of the glasshouses in the neighbourhood. They sell of the flowers that didn&#39;t quite make the grade real cheap, but I can&#39;t really see anything wrong with them. They&#39;re just stunning. Surprisingly enough, the cats haven&#39;t knocked them over yet either. Shocking.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img alt="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0370.jpg" src="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0370.jpg" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left">And this is the area my horse lives in. This is only about 30 minutes out of Amsterdam&#39;s city center, mind, and about 10 minutes away from my house. On bike, that is :-] I may live in boring suburbia, but I like it. So there.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img alt="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0015.jpg" src="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0015.jpg" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left">And of course I had to take some pictures of Himself. He couldn&#39;t quite figure out how the skaters managed to float over ice, and was quite alert because of that. The low sun and frost made for some really nice pictures.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center"><img alt="The image “http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0014.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0014.jpg" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img alt="The image “http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0020.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0020.jpg" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img alt="The image “http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0055.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://this.is.not.bow.ie/pics/winter2007/0055.jpg" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left"><img alt="" /> </div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://nemesis.vox.com/library/post/winter-wonderland.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c22520a2e88e1d00e398caae6e0001?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> photography winter pictures trees sun horse roses solon
