Room with a view
13:50 20 January, 2008 20012008031 Most of the time when on a business trip you get a hotel room with a view to pretty much nothing worth seeing. Not this time. This the the view from Hotel Saaga to Ylläs mountain. It's almost two o'clock so the sun is setting already as the place is north of the Arctic Circle.

Sleeping swans, part II
16:59 08 January, 2008 Image006 Last night those hapless birds had decided that it's better to sleep on the ice. It's been a very warm winter thus far, but someone really ought to tell these birds they are of the migrating kind.

Sleeping swans
08:45 08 January, 2008 Image004 The early swan doesn't get stuck in ice. The picture is quite crappy but could not resist taking it anyway. The sea is freezing quite rapidly now and I wonder whether these sleeping beauties will get their tails frozen stuck before they wake up.

It's oh so quiet
16:52 07 January, 2008 Image First snow finally arrived and it was simply a perfect moment today to pedal home in the four inches of powder snow. It's soft and makes everything very quiet around you. The bike feels unconnected from the road - floaty. You feel so alive with more snow whistling around in the wind and stinging your face like acupuncture needles.I was listening to Enya in my headsets and saw these two swans swimming in the sea in the last spot where the inlet wasn't frozen yet. It was such a perfect moment that I decided to film a short bit of the trip with my mobile phone. The result has a lot of shakes and wind noise, but I posted it anyway to my kyte.tv channel (http://www.kyte.tv/dopeyrizer).

Greener Christmas
This was the second Christmas we didn't buy a tree but used one in our back yard. The lights are LEDs so the amount of power needed should not melt the polar caps either.
