Hrm. And picspam.

First, this was supposed to be the reaction post to the news about the casting of the Eleventh Doctor, but... I don't really know anything about the actor. So I'm going to hope for the best, even though I'd have preferred someone older.

Second, went for a walk by the river earlier today. We were actually planning for the beach, but by the time we got that far, the sun was setting and it was very, very cold (a wonderfully brisk -5°C otherwise, but very windy at the seaside, and my fingers and toes were all frozen), so we just turned back.

Got a bit trigger happy with the camera as it was - I'm officially in love with the new lens. It's a little difficult to consider things like colour rendition etc yet, or even sharpness (as my focus was probably all over the place, what with runny eyes and runny nose and shaky hands), but it's so fast in focusing. And quiet. And a joy to handle. And it's marvellous to have a camera that does not take a random pink shot every now and then, or refuse to turn off or on at random times.

The first one is a random footprint in the grass - as you can see, we're a bit short on snow currently.





Sunset under the bridge.



Ice.



More ice.



Sunsettish sky over the rivermouth. The river's all frozen over, the sea is not.



Sailboat mast reflections on the ice.



Sunset over the sailboats.



Ice soup.



A bit more ice.



And some more ice. With a random smattering of snow.



Another bit of ice.



Ice with cattails.

Lovely! They are all lovely, although the last two and the one below the ice soup are especially appealing, though the footprint is awesome.

You make me want to visit Tallin in the winter. For someone who hates the cold...

Ice is really, really pretty. I wish we'd got there a bit before sunset, as it was a sunny day and I'd have loved to catch that light, but we never seem to manage to drag ourselves out before 2-2:30 pm or so, and of course, the sun is very low by that time already.

I don't like the humid cold. 0...+5°C is the absolute worst for me. -5...-10°C is wonderful though, especially once the sea gets all icy as well. It's just so pretty that the cold becomes a bit less relevant. :-D
