Chicagoan here: If you’re not used to cold winters, here’s how to keep warm.
• Wear a stocking cap inside
• Make sure cracks around windows/doors are sealed. Use duct tape if you have to. It doesn't have to be pretty
• Use a heating pad
• Run your pjs through the dryer before you put them on before bed
• Keep your furnace temperature as low as you can stand it — it keeps the energy load low, so you don't tax the grid
• Drink hot beverages & eat soup
• Cover your feet
And here we are again. Continuing with my "Pristine Winter" collection. I just had gotten my new camera and lenses the days before and was totally eager to get out ... and that day it just had snowed. -- no colors any more. I was a bit ... well. I had to replan. go for black&white, structures, patterns, shapes only.
My name's Megan, originally from Minnesota but living in the UK which is now home. Always something in my mind and will post about it here. Hope you have a wonderful day!
J'ai refais une petite randonnée du côté de la station géothermale de Seltún parce que j'avais envie de faire mon Jésus en marchant sur l'Arnarvatn gelé (environ 20 à 30 cm de glace).
Température : environ -20°C. J'ai jamais eu froid (sauf aux mains quand il fallait prendre des photos et des vidéos).
Vent : 10m/sec. résister face aux bourrasques était parfois compliqué mais ça m'a permis de faire de belles images !
It's been a hot summer already & we are just getting start. Thought you might appreciate a cool down. Even though it was a long cold winter, just a few minutes of this looks good. Winter in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico.
Here's an old pic I took of the snow-capped Llullaillaco #volcano, as seen at #sunset from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. The volcano itself sits at the border between #Chile and #Argentina. I love the colour contrast between the ochre expanse of the Atacama #Desert and the white #snow covering the volcano!
What a difference a day makes! Yesterday was a cold but lovely late fall day in Montreal's Lafontaine Park, today it was snowy, wet & colder. #park#Montreal#Canada#autumn#snow
