We spent New Year in our cabin up north and the weather was truly beautiful. When we were closing in on Orsa (the village where we have the cabin), the sun was setting behind the mountains in the distance, the ice and snow was crisp and glittering diamonds. We had a couple of lovely days with some friends, skiing, sledging, dining etc... Then after a few days when I finally came around to bring out the camera, the snow had started to melt and the sun were nowhere to be seen, but sometimes you manage to get a decent picture even if the weather is dull. For example this picture of a pine tree.
