A lesson learned...

When you go out, and it's raining snow, you need to be ready to get wet and freeze. It's not an big issue if you prepare well. Warm clothes, suitable pants and a pair of long johns under, warm coat, a pair of gloves and a warm hat, a combination that will help you to tolerate the bad weather conditions and this way you will most likely enjoy the outdoor experience a lot more than if you were wearing something less suitable. Yesterday it was a bit cold and even a couple of snowflakes fell down, when me and a friend of mine decided to head out and make a few wintry landscape images. Practically it meant that we were wading in snow. My buddy was wearing a pair of rubber boots, but in no time he had hes boots full of snow. When you get snow in your shoes you start to freeze. When you start to freeze you feel bad, and when feeling bad you don't enjoy what you are doing. He's a brave guy, so he continued the walk with me, even if it meant more snow in the boots and walking in cold water. Finally we decided to return to the car. One thing nice with a car is that there is a heater, and when your legs are freezing, nothing is more pleasing than a car fan blowing some warm air on your legs. Tight and wet boots of... and yes, it feels so good. Can't say we made too many images on that trip, but when we were returning home we saw how the clouds in front of us started to brake up and a bit of sun and a piece of blue sky was appearing. And just on the road on the way home is my favorite hill. A short stop, my buddy stayed in the car, and I took a walk to the nearest horses... Always wear good and warm shoes when it's bad weather.
