i’ve never been to japan, but sometimes when i look at these snowy photos, i imagine what it would be like to stand in the middle of a field of cherry blossom trees. it would be really neat – and probably not so cold… my camera doesn’t like the cold so much, though my fingers and body seem to be adapting to winter rather well – i’m the strange girl who doesn’t need gloves when it’s minus 10 degrees outside… :/
a little h2o and a slight breeze on a cold night, and voilá, the city turns into neverland on a winter day :)
Soft rime is a white ice deposition that forms when the water droplets in light freezing fog or mist freeze to the outer surfaces of objects, with calm or light wind. The fog freezes usually to the windward side of tree branches, wires, or any other solid objects.
we’re learning about types of ice we had never seen outside of finnish postcards. soft rime is unbelievably beautiful and eerie, and makes simple walks in the park truly magical experiences. it only happens once in a while when the conditions are perfect, so every time one of those days comes along, we run out of the house, cameras in hand :)
third video in a row, i know… but i can’t help it! :D ljubljana is just picture-perfect these days and in a way, this one doubles as a message to all our friends: what are you waiting for to visit us?! we have plenty of snow and hot chocolate, just come!

no trees were harmed in the making of this movie!
there’s a milk vending machine in the market – and i’ve been dying to use it :) so today, me, paulo and gui braved the snow to get some milk. we had a bit of help from a nice lady and got home with a bottle of thick fresh milk. yummy! :D
the song is 牛仔很忙 （the cowboy is very busy) by jay chou. it’s about a nice cowboy who drinks milk at bars (because beer is bad for you), soaks in bubble baths with his toys and only wears synthetic leather :)
