That is an amazing shot, Harri. The snow is like a layer of jewels--very beautiful.
-30C for 30 seconds--I have no idea of what that kind of cold must feel like. But thanks for letting me know what it looks like.

Harri, this is just excellent! Also, you get a lot of credit for being able to photograph at -30C. Probably the shutter took 30 sec. to close because of the cold Smile .

Lovin' this one Harri. I got to get my camera out in the winter more. It's hard though when teaching skiing most everyday.

Amazing, Harri! Awesome foreground with the crystals and the moonstar is great.

Thanks so much for the looks and kind comments!
It was tricky to get dressed correctly, I had to ski a long way for this place and try to stay warm after that... I had a lighter jacket for the skiing part. After I arrived to this spot, I changed my sweaty shirt to dry one and put thicker down jacket on. At that moment I thought sweat would freeze on my skin, but dry shirt and thicker jacket helped a lot Smile In that temperature you get frostbitten really quick, if you don't have enough clothes on.

The result is worth all efforts. One of the best night shots I know. Respect, Harri!
