This is my submission for Colorchallenge Friday Blue. This photo was taken at my grandparents house. It was one of those days where you wake up and the whole landscape had frozen. It requires very stilling calm conditions for the snow to build up like this and dress the forest branches in such a beautiful way.
I have said it before and I say it again, the best artist and painter is nature itself, wouldn't you agree ?
so nice post
So nice! Where in Smaland is it? I've spent fours months in Lund during my Erasmus exchange semester; coming from a small and crowded country I miss Sweden's large end almost endless plains.
Wow you were in Lund ? It's very beautiful there. Actually this photo is taken 1.5 hour drive from Lund. It's north of Lund and more vegetation in this area.
Switzerland is amazingly beautiful. My grandparents used to live there, and the house was up on a mountain I remember ( I guess many houses are hehe) . It was many years ago but I still remember how beautiful it was
Indeed, Lund is really an amazing place to be for students :)
Indeed, Switzerland and Sweden are both very beautiful ^^ So you're half Swiss if your grandparents used to live in Switzerland?
Yes, we have many houses in the mountains and lots of them are empty haha (because people use their chalets only for vacation purposes). But mostly, Swiss people are living in very densely populated areas between Geneva-Lausanne and Zürich-Basel-Bern.
My grandparents are actually from Sweden but lived in Switzerland for 10 years approximately. My grandpa was working for IKEA in Switzerland at the time.
The photo is so beautiful, it can serve as a postcard.

nice picture
thank you faraizky! :)
It must be too much cold there, It must be a shock for you when you come back from Thailand in the winter time. I will die frozen there. But it must be beautiful for sure.
haha yea it is defintely a big contrast! A lot of Swedish people choose to go to Thailand during this Swedish winter because it is so long and cold hehe
Wow that's amazing! Is your grandpa house the one we see on the bottom left? I went to lappland about a year ago but never been to Sweden, you are making me want to! I totally agree with you, I actually think that the best artist is the one who created nature!
wow you have a good eye, even i didnt notice the house there. this small house is the boat house/ painting studio. My grandpa used to paint there back in the days but that was many years ago. This place is sold now unfortunately it was a very beautiful place and it was by far my most favorite place in the summer. I would spend many days by the boat house drinking beer and fishing.
Lappland i havent been too yet. not that far north. i reccomend you also to visit the south part of sweden during the summer. I come from a province called Småland and it has nice deepforest and beautiful lakes scattered across it .
Hehe those are good places for shure! I took note and I hope I'll return up there someday!
that looks amazing
just saw the house when I read the comment also :-)
It is very beautiful in winter, and this kind of climate also has its perks. For example it gets quite cozy inside, and we drink Gluhwine and watch nice movies. But the winter can get a bit long, i mean it usually last around half a year, so after a few month you definetely wish you were in Thailand on a nice beach ;)
Really beautiful! What a pity your grandparents sold this beautiful place.
How do you heat during winter in this region?
It Really is a Pity, I will miss this place for sure. But it was too far away from the cities and they were getting old.
When I get rich from Steem I will buy it back and invite you to come and enjoy some Swedish Beer hehe
Count me and my hubby in! LOL! Like how I just invited myself? hehehe
:)) That's similar to turkish culture :)
Is that so?! I think I would for in great with your culture! 😆
Cool :))
The turkish culture isn't my culture, I just used to live there a couple of years;)
You are welcome to come haha! Let's just hope Steem starts going up fast :)
Haha:) I hope you'll get rich and buy it back... but makes sense that they sold it.
Thanks for your invitation buddy, but I don't drink :)
We can always drink something not alcoholic, I'm actually trying to cut down on alcohol, it's very bad when you want to stay in shape
Of course, we can :)
You should cut down, as alcohol not only is bad when you want to stay or get in shape it's also a severe factor for many diseases... Stay healthy buddy...
Oh my gosh! It's breathtaking!
It is really beautiful on these days when the snow has just landed. It really feels like time has stopped
how amazing living in Florida I have never seen snow like this it looks so beautiful. here is my colorchallenge entry https://steemit.com/colorchallenge/@isteemithard/colorchallenge-fridayskyblue-paddleboard-sup
This is so stunning, @dandesign. Blue has a very trance like essence about it. You have captured the trance, spiritual and meditative quality of blue so beautifully here. And your grandparents live in such a beautiful place. My dream :)
Nature doesn`t serve you.
Nature deserves you.
Absolutely amazing capture of nature at its best.
