Norway in Snow

Winter in Norway can be bitter and harsh. Though it is not as cold as you might think. Thanks to the gulf stream which brings relatively warm water and wind from the Americas to Europe even the fjords at the polar circle do not freeze up. Although especially in this year 2020 there is a lot of snow, more than usual for this period of the year making travelling tough because of frequent road closures. On the other hand the snow provides for beautiful impressions fitting the imagination of the far north. In case you miss the light on the pictures; the reason being there is not much of it there in winter making also photography though – but rewarding.

New York in Winter

Travelling to New York in April you notice that it’s still much colder there than in Europe. There was a major blizzard right before we arrived in 2018 (the last one in the season), and the mood in the city was rather grim. Though it’s not a bad time to visit the city as it was not as packed as I usually imagine it to be. There were some quiet moments to have, even in busy Manhattan. Time to look around and observe the last moments of winter right before the dawn of spring.
