Helt fantastiska bilder! De sista bilderna, vart är dem tagna?

Har säkert frågat detta förut, men vad använder du för kamera?

The coldest place my subbie goes is the walk-in refrigerator at Costco.
I would post a picture except the girls in the refrigerator may consider me to be oggling.

Takker, Carl.

Bildene er tatt med et Ixus70 i området rundt Kirkenes.

Have only had mine since august so it hasn't been below -7 c yet. But here in Ottawa I expect temperatures similar to Harry in Montreal, or to those in Sweden. It can get "pretty frickin' cold"! Builds character!! (yah, right).

That's a typical winter scene in Ottawa. A couple of years ago we had so much snow you couldn't see round corners, and you couldn't see cars in the driveways behind he snow banks. It was fun. Great skiing too!

In 1976, I was in -55 F in Alaska. That's how low the temps would get at night, but for a 3 week stretch we didn't get above -20. I had a 1973 TT GMT and never gave the watch a thought. I gave that Rolex to a son, 2 or 3 years ago, and it's still the prettiest Rolex I ever owned.

Eric, I was up there then as well - it was SOOO cold. They shutdown most of Sugarloaf b/c of the windchill that January.

Chris, Sugarloaf gets soo cold hah!
