As large parts of Europe are going through tough winter conditions I chose a wintery wallpaper for the month of February. Enjoy!
To use the photo as your desktop wallpaper simply click the image above, then right-click (or control-click) and choose “Save image as…” or “Set as desktop background”.
After the early snow we received in the end of November last year the winter continues on full speed through January here in Stockholm.
This week we received another 30 cm of crispy snow while temperatures are down to -18 degrees Celsius.
It does make for beautiful photography.
Have a great weekend!
The year 2013 is soon upon us and we will start the month of January with a snowy wallpaper, specially for you who do not get to see much of the snow and ice we have so much of here in Stockholm.
This photo was taken in the Nacka Reserve Forest at the end of November when the first snow had come to Stockholm.

I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year!
About a month earlier than we are used to the first considerable amount of snow covered Stockholm during the last two days. With a temperature of just below zero (C) it makes for a beautiful crisp white blanket covering the city and nature.
It gave me an excellent opportunity to take some early winter landscapes and test the weather durability of the Nikon D600. All photos were taken in or around Hellasgården in the Nacka Reserve Park on the south-east side of Stockholm and just about a stone throw away from my house.
The February 2012 wallpaper has Norwegian origin. The photo was taken within the arctic circle at the island Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The small airport of Longyearbyen can be seen at the bottom of the photo.
When I was visiting Svalbard a few years back in the month of March temperatures were at -25C (-13F) and the strong wind made it feel like -50C (-58F)! It was almost too cold to be outside with your camera and shoot beautiful landscapes.
