Kindergarten - Norwegian way Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kindergarten - Norwegian way
Maybe you have seen the more typical photos of my country, like the fjords,mountains under blue sky or snow covered landscapes under a brigth sun.

Today then a more 'daily life' capture. Outside for playing. A strong gale demands only for the right way to dress - no reason to stay indoors. No pp here, the horizontal stripes/lines in the photo is just the snow blowing horizontal over the landscape and no fog but a clear day except for the howling snow.

Not much of a compo - just a capture of an ordinaire 'daily life' scene up in the north..

Hallo Jack!
An inventive and impressive Photo indeed - and a not everyday one! One nearly can feel cold and wind here. A great shot!
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Jack,
I've been visiting Tromso just before winter last year, and I wonder the winter scene would be like this. I thought it was fog around them before I read your note. Thanks for sharing a daily life there.

Hi Jack,
Good idea to show us this daily scene afrom your country maybe less beautiful than fjord landscape with sun ... well composed with these silhouettes.

Leilani (1371) 2008-03-06 3:26

wow - amazing conditions! I guess you would have to just get on with life though :) You've managed well the scene. Rgds, Leilani

Hello Jack,

Ces enfants sont courageux de sortir par un temps pareil ! Le vent a l'air terrible et la neige tombe de manière très violente ! Un peu plus et les enfants disparaissent dans la tempête ! Impressionant !

Hello John
Et c'est le même paysage couvert de verts pâturages que l'on découvrira dans quelques mois!!
Impressionnant de voir des enfants s'amuser dans de telles conditions; un beau moment de vie bien saisi!!
Du bon travail
Amicalement

Hi, Jack. The winter atmosphere is stunning here with that flurry of snow indicating well enough how stong the wind was. The Norwegians are tough people and, seeing this picture, I understand why. I like the off-centered composition and the light which reminds me of the January days of my childhood when snow was still part of the landscape in my country.

Hello Jack,

This is a very good example for us children in Belgium.
When snow fall than have to everyone to inside, but in your country playing the children in the snow, this is very nice.
An inventive and impressive picture, very well done.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello Jack,
i like this foggy atmosphere,this daily snapshot i believe, in the Winder days of your country.As i see they use to sit outside with a little child, to be accustomed under these difficult weather conditions.Well done Jack.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Looks so extremely cold, almost an charicature of everyday winter life in Norway. Brrrr.

Didi (36136) 2008-03-24 4:37

Hi Jack
It's an ordinary composition for you; but for us it's very rare.
For the next year please try to build an igloo :)
Happy Easter.

Maybe not your most attractive of this page, but one of the most informative IMO and fun too !
Compliments,
Greetings,

Unusual but nevertheless a great shot. Reminds me of a documentary on Norway that I saw a couple of weeks ago where a Norwegian farmer declared "there is no such thing as bad weather, there is only bad clothing!" How right this is.
Have a nice day
John
