i woke up on tuesday to find myself living in the land of ice and snow. it was truly spectacular.

on thursday, the world was still frozen.

i took atlas and my camera for a walk that evening and nearly froze my fingers off.

on friday, the world was still frozen.

i took atlas and my camera for a hike around calumet lake that afternoon. the alternate thawing and freezing meant that the trail was pretty solid, no snowshoes required.

i will confess that i expected to see jon snow and some of his brothers on the night’s watch, or else the snow queen, around every single corner.

from now on, when i read game of thrones, this is how i will picture the wall, the lands north of the wall, and winterfell in winter.

    Wow! Beautiful!! My favorites are 5th from last, 4th from last and last :)

      I think my favorites are the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and last. (The 4th is the tops of the trees in the empty lot across from your ex-coworker’s house – zoomed way in from the lot with the moving trucks. I figured you’d recognize the others.)

  2. There is so much beauty in winter and you have captured it in your stunning pictures.

  3. such a winter wonderland….thanks for sharing the beauty of the white and quiet hush:)
