The frozen north... Sweden in winter.

This is the marina at Hudiksvall before it totally iced over.

A shot from the ski slopes looking over the river valley of the frozen river Ljusnan.

The still cold air makes for some magical photos and I took these using an iPhone, just at the spur of the moment.

I have no idea how you cope with the cold, It's 18'c here right now and I'm practically frozen!

Damn. Those are some wonderful pictures!

Thanks @xeri it was surprisingly easy to get these shots, I feel very lucky, especially as they are taken with a phone and no retouch or filter has been used!

I know right! That's an amazingly happy coincidence! :D

Nice to see! I live south of Stockholm and it does not look like this at all... Only grey and some rain.

Hmm sounds like England, cold and wet. Nothing worse than when it rains on all this snow though, absolute nightmare, nicer if it stays frozen, then instantly evaporated ready for summer in May 😂

I agree on that! This kind of winter is not fun at all. Hopefully there will be some snow later on.

So did you like the photos or not?

Sorry, I need to clarify, are you referring to the joint military manoeuvres in Sweden recently, do you wonder what is so important about the country as its just filled with trees?

No I am not Swedish, although I have dual nationality (UK). Have you been in the military?
