Last snow 

soldið töff mynd :) væri alveg til i smá snjó hér í Dk!!

Takk takk Ester :o) Er allt autt hjá ykkur núna? Því miður á að fara að rigna hérna á mánudaginn... og rigna yfir hátíðarnar :o(

Nice winter landscape!

Thank you so much Olaf :o)

A wonderful winter scene, where does the light come from?

Thank you Eva :o) The light comes from a light pole by the trail :o)

last snow
last show
you know
;o)

Yes, last snow show this year... but next year, there will be new show, you know :o)

i know
mine snowflakes are bigger than yours charly brown ;)))

Great photo!! I like the way the light ahead is "round the corner" somehow! And what marvellous snow!! A shame it might not last until Thursday. Down here it has been unusually warm today - but wet!

As for living in a lava field - I find that oddly romantic I now imagine you live in a little wooden hut right in the centre of this deserted patch of rough ground.

Hehe, thanks Nigel... and sorry to break your romantic bubble, but it's not quite a little wooden hut in a deserted field! This is what I see if I turn around, I live in this house :o)

Looks like a great place to live Begga - snow or no snow!! Much more photogenic than my place!!! :-D

Thanks Nigel :o) Maybe I should take a photo in the summer for comparison :o)

Looks like a perfect holiday dream!

Seen in my account recent activity (?)

Flott hraunið með svona hreinum, nýföllnum snjó :o) Ekki slæmt að geta farið út bakdyramegin og vera komin út í óbyggðir!
Spárnar rætast ekki alltaf og vonandi verður eitthvað eftir á jólunum :o)

Takk Oddur, ég er mjög heppin með "bakgarðinn", það er verndað hraunland. Þegar ég fór út áðan var alveg steinþögn þarna úti í hrauninu... ótrúlega kyrrt og fallegt :o)

Og ég vona að þú hafir rétt fyrir þér með veðurspána :o)

You live in a lava field?!! So you are one of that mystical Icelandic creatures living in stone caves, in snow, aren't you? :-))))
Btw, I'm envious of your snow... we haven't seen any this year yet. Snowless New Year, fie!

@Angela
Some peoples call this species(creatures) troll

" if pixie search guido with a gun in here hands say no i not know where he is "
MUAHAHAHA

Well, I wouldn't call Pixie a troll... The magic world of Iceland is extremely rich and there are also much nicer creatures than trolls ;-)))

Hehe... thanks Angela :D At least I hope I don't look like a troll ;o)

The magic world of Iceland has for example:

- trolls in the mountains
(they've usually ventured out in daylight and turned to stone)
- elves in the stones
(they are good creatures but have been known to lure people into the stones)
- flower fairies
(harmless and beautiful)
- 13 yule lads in the mountains that come to town 13 days before Christmas
(nasty lads with a weird sense of humour en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_Lads)
- the parents of the jule lads
(they steal naughty kids and eat them)

and much more... ;o)

Oh, and here is a very good translation on the Icelandic poem about the 13 Yule lads that all Icelandic children know... notendur.centrum.is/sjbokband/joh.html/yulelads00.html :o)

Yes, I read about those nasty lads of Christmas in "101 Reykjavik"!! The Russian translator of this book was very painstaking and he commented many unknown moments of Icelandic reality for Russian readers. I must say, the comments were the same interesting as the book itself! :-))

LOL yes I do Angela, well actually... the place where I live is built on an old lava field and they tried to destroy as little as possible, building paths instead in between the mounds of lava :o)

Hafnarfjörður is said to have a very large community of what we call elves, and they live in the large stones :o)

I would love to have this snow over Christmas and New Year, unfortunately they predict rain tomorrow :o(

Frábær snjómynd! Gaman að búa svona í jaðrinum á óbreyttri náttúru :-)

Takk takk Hafdís :o) Já þeir reyndu að halda hrauninu eins ósnertu og þeir gátu þegar hverfið var byggt... og bjuggu svo til göngustíga innan um hraunbolla og hæðir :o)

looks nice there seem to be lots of snow.. u can make snow man and have fun..

Thank you Nada, actually this is the perfect snow for making a snow man! :o) Snow can be very different in texture and some snow is just too dry and loose to make a snow man :o)

don't believe everything those weather guys are saying ... we're all yearning for snow - here we didn't really have 'til now :( - thanks for showing us this winter wonderland - i close my eyes and i can feel the wonderful cold of it

Thank you so much mo... and let's hope for once that the weather guys are wrong ;o)

Beautiful and so near to your home!

Thanks Mike... yes, literally in my backyard! :o)

Rosalega falleg mynd! Gleðileg jól til þín og þinna Begga!

Takk kærlega Kristinn :o) Gleðileg jól til þín og þinna :o)

Walking in the winter wonderland....beautiful !

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland...

Thank you Charon :o)

This looks so fantastic there! When it is snowing in Kassel,it is melting soon and is really not as deep,as in this picture.This is the right weather for Santa Claus and the fitting Christmas feeling :O)

Oh, this is not concidered very deep here :o) But sadly it is all gone now, the rain came as predicted... but we still keep the Christmas feeling inside... thank you Corinna :o)

That's a great photo, and you live in an interesting place. I see cross-country ski tracks too, so it looks like that path is well utilised/

Thanks John! Not as much snow as at your place :o) About the tracks... I don't know if the were made by cross country skis or by a children's snow sled ;o) I suspect the latter though :D

So beautiful :)
Wish you a merry xmas begga :-))

Thank you so much Nathou... and merry Christmas to you too :o)

Skemmtileg byrtan þarna til hægri, alltaf svo jólalegar svona myndir, ég ætla líka að nota tækifærið og óska þér Jleðilegra Jóla

Takk takk Ester, þetta er ljósastaur við stíginn :o)
Gleðileg jól til þín og þinna Ester... takk fyrir Iper árið sem er að líða ;o)

beautiful winter view...

Thank you Yeshim :o)

Oh... I feel the snow is so soft and pure in this picture! I really love the feeling!

And snow is expected down here for the end of this week so maybe we're going to have a snowy Christmas!

I also want to send you my italian wish for these holidays: "Tanti auguri di Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo, cara Begga"! :-)

Thank you so much Paolo... the weather was so still that it almost felt warm, but then you could feel the cold coming from the snow when you bent down :o)

Gleðileg jól og gott nýtt ár Paolo! :o)

What a cool place to live Begga!

"Cool" is the right word ;o) Thank you JoJo :o)
