The frozen north... Sweden in winter.

This is the marina at Hudiksvall before it totally iced over.

The still cold air makes for some magical photos and I took these using an iPhone, just at the spur of the moment.

Sort:  

I have no idea how you cope with the cold, It's 18'c here right now and I'm practically frozen!

Damn. Those are some wonderful pictures!

Thanks @xeri it was surprisingly easy to get these shots, I feel very lucky, especially as they are taken with a phone and no retouch or filter has been used!

I know right! That's an amazingly happy coincidence! :D

So did you like the photos or not?

I am in no mood... what i really like is that it is the perfect place and time for a live winter dod small scale conquest... what is of value there? I mean cleaning trees while pretending that fsc mix is temporary isn't the type of ROI i am envisioned... do you have suggestion?

Sorry, I need to clarify, are you referring to the joint military manoeuvres in Sweden recently, do you wonder what is so important about the country as its just filled with trees?

no absolutely not.

i am saying that north korean are fabulous army. 3.4 millions men, most of the civilians will participate and die in the fight.

koreas have resisted chinese for thousand of years, the proof is in the language.

the usa can nuke, but will it be enough or worst? in all event I don't think that the us army is ready to fight north korea without nuke.

I think that training against the swedish nation is the best option to increase readyness and check and improve all integrated system.

Sweden will not be easy to defeat, conquer and exterminate, however compared to North Korea it is a walk in the park.

sweden is an enemy nation of #israel #usa #whitepeople #freemarket and everything worth living. this country is a giant scam, from forest destruction for crap trendy things, to meat balls with wood fibers in it, to everything there is worth destroying as a training op for the MIC.

I know that todays US mic is still to weak to understand this reality. war is hard, harder than they imagine. they can't understand nazi warfight spirit, nor soviet russians... too much kfc, mcd food courts, tv and video games...

an operation on sweden would reframe the perspective... and show that war is very hard the more weak you are.

so the goal is to train, to be ready against nk and the like, and not bombing low tech sandniggas... and see if everything operate well in the cold.

sweden is no allies, there is a king, usa not, china not, russia not isreal not india not... good luck.

are you swedish?

No I am not Swedish, although I have dual nationality (UK). Have you been in the military?

but from a technical point of view, it's hard to make picture with water... to get the flat line... the second is great ! can osprey operate in such condition... time to find out... predators, avengers and co.... interesting... endless ! valuefull! I hope the swedes will oppose resistance...

Nice to see! I live south of Stockholm and it does not look like this at all... Only grey and some rain.

Hmm sounds like England, cold and wet. Nothing worse than when it rains on all this snow though, absolute nightmare, nicer if it stays frozen, then instantly evaporated ready for summer in May 😂

I agree on that! This kind of winter is not fun at all. Hopefully there will be some snow later on.
