Default Winter fun!

Had a great trip today, went up to one of the highest points in the area to get some good pictures. But probably due to the cold, it was quite foggy and not very good light (no view either). But I had a great time on the empty parking lot! :-)

On the way back home, it cleared up as the sun was setting, and I got a couple of nice shots:

Not quite that cold anymore:

Down from -25 early this morning....

Default Hey Kjell- you need washer fluid ;-)

Great photos! I really like the 9 spoke wheels on these cars, they look great! At first I thought you meant -25 F (BRRRRRRR), but then I realized that us Americans are the only ones still using that antiquated system of units. You must not be too far north since you still get some sunlight this time of year.
