FEBRUARY 2013

Snow pattern, Madum Sø, Himmerland, Denmark

Almost three months of winter has passed and biting cold weather has dominated most of the month of February, but in the last week we experienced the first sign of spring with the first day with springlike conditions, you could feel the warmth of the sun on your face for the first time this year. 

The good weather took me by surprise, I simply had too many layers of clothes on and at some point I was almost boiling until I got rid of a layer. 

The sun is getting stronger day by day and the melting has begun, okay you can't see it on this image from Madum Sø, the largest lake in Himmerland; I was out most of that day enjoying the beautiful weather with a clear blue sky and no wind, most of the snow in the landscape is gone now, but on the lake an inspiring pattern of snow and ice were a great motif for me.

JANUARY 2013

Winter Impression, Mariager fjord, Denmark

January was a divided month, two weeks with temperatures on the positive side and two weeks below zero day and night. Fjords, ponds and lakes were soon covered by ice and snow-showers covered the landscape with a white carpet. 

On this impressionistic image I photographed Mariager fjord in the twilight and instead of just making a sharp documentation photo, I tried to make a more artistic impression by moving the camera during exposure. 

Patterns of snow on the ice, together with the pink pastel coloured sky created this mystic image from another world.

MARCH 2013

March Snow, Assentoft, Denmark

One afternoon a heavy snowfall arrived together with strong winds, I knew that I had to be out in search of motifs, despite the extreme conditions. 

Winter weather always look cold and uninviting when you are indoor, but when you are out in it, it does not matter - when you have the right clothes. Snow in March is not unusual in Denmark, but recent winters ended in early March, but this year the winter will not loose its grip. 

This image is photographed only a few kilometers from my home; I had one motif in mind, photograph Roe deer in the landscape and I got them and as a bonus a fox in a perfect landscape.
