Agreed. I have great winter gear, including a parka, so I walk everywhere (it’s a lot faster than warming up the truck and the cold starts are hard on it), but I make my walks quick and efficient, especially when I’m taking photos!
Thanks, Linda. We do get a lot of sun in the winter, even if it’s extremely cold and the daylight hours are short. But this is my last subarctic winter, and though I’m happy about that, I find myself appreciating the beauties of it a little more carefully.
Haha. 🙂 Yes, a good description of that experience. I call it “lung frost.” You breathe in and then start to sort of choke because the cilia froze. I wear a traditional parka with heavy fur around the hood which cuts out much of that issue (especially with the addition of a scarf). But the frost-encrusted eyelashes can still be a problem!

Cold yet beautiful. Lovely shot, Lynette!
Thank you very much, Steve. The temperature was about -35C or so (-31F); rather chilly. 😉
Always a great view Lynette. Happy Friday. Allan
Thank you very much, Allan, Yes it’s a rather well-known Yellowknife view. Cheers.
What a pretty view that is. Cold, but lovely to look at from the warmth of my house.

Really nice photo. Cold but also quaint. Homey. Picturesque. Happy weekend.
Thank you, Lori. 🙂 Yellowknife is very cold in the winter but most people are warm and know how to be warm. 🙂 Cheers.
Stunning!
Thank you very much. 🙂
Gorgeous capture. It looks cold, but at least the sun is shining. Have a wonderful weekend. Stay warm out there.

That’s a good way to look at it. I’m sure it’s a bittersweet feeling.
Yes, it is. I do like the north despite my grousing about the cold. 🙂
That does look like one of those days when you breathe in and your lungs wonder what on earth just happened. But so beautiful.

Cold and beautiful! Very nice composition!
Thank you very much. 🙂 Yes, it was definitely cold!
