🫎 REINDEER VIDEO πŸŽ₯ and WINTER WONDERLAND in SWEDEN πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ ~ Wednesday Walk

avatar
(Edited)

Hi all πŸ‘‹πŸ»

Yes, I know… you waited long enough for some photos and videos from SWEDEN πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ πŸ˜‰
Do know most captures I have are on my CANON R5, so I can’t share those until I am back home… luckily I made a few photos and videos with my phone that I can share.

I had not much free time yet as you have noticed, but today is the day πŸ™‚ I share some snowy β˜ƒοΈWINTER WONDERLAND β˜ƒοΈ photos and don’t forget to view the VIDEO πŸŽ₯😎

We will walk around one of the accommodations I stayed in, around MORA in DALARNA COUNTY ~ SWEDEN πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ and I add a VIDEO while DRIVING ALONG SNOWY AND ICY ROADS ~ WHERE I CAPTURED SOME REINDEER 🫎 crossing 😊

(Don’t pay attention to the moose emoji hahaha there isn’t one for reindeer)

With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last #Wednesdaywalk post here;
β€œWednesday Walk around the portβ€œ
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts 😁 come join us! It is fun!

Today’s selection will be of 10 PHOTOGRAPHS and 1 VIDEO
Date: 25 and 29 NOVEMBER 2023.
The Photographs and VIDEO in this post are all taken with my phone πŸ“±πŸ€“
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ» #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes. 😊

The location of MORA in the county DALARNA πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ you can find on the following screenshot of Google maps :

Zooming out…

Right now I am 6 hours drive further north β˜ƒοΈπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ not visible on this screenshot πŸ˜‰
Where it is -19 during the day and the snow is knee deep. Love πŸ₯° it…
The temperatures will warm up in the next week, but will be still far below 0 degrees Celsius β„οΈβ˜ƒοΈ

Those captures will come when I am back in Ireland 😎 So please bear with me πŸ€“

Let’s start our walk around an old farm now…

We stayed in this converted barn on a farm in the woods.
As you can see the snow isn’t deep yet.
We are driving in a C4 CitroΓ«n rental car, with winter tires. What is so needed. πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—

Walking around the property we see more buildings, a little greenhouse and more cute corners.
The sky is blue and the sun is out β˜€οΈ this was just before we left this area to our next stay…

Old farm machinery in the snow ❄️ so cool they kept it and showcase it on their property. Makes for some cool captures πŸ€“

The barn from the other side… the owners house behind it on the left.

Walking further we see the sun is just touching the top of these trees… it’s 10 o’clock in the morning here.

To my surprise I find a #beehive 🐝🐝🐝🐝 do you see it?

The farm house 🏑

But…
Let’s get to the video now you are curious about, I hope πŸ˜‰

While driving πŸš—πŸš—πŸš— around… when the sun sets πŸŒ„ what is around 1500h in the afternoon here this time of the year… wildlife is coming out and crossing the back roads we are driving on.
So far I have seen #foxes 🦊 , #badgers 🦑, #deer 🦌 , #reindeer and even a mother #moose 🫎 with her young.

I could capture a group of reindeer while they where wandering over the road… soooo #AMAZING
This was a bit higher up around BrΓ€cke - JΓ€mtland County πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ on 29 November 2023

Let me share this #magical moment with you now:

So #HAPPY 😁 I saw them… #thisisawesome

Hope you liked my video 😊

2 more captures along driving around…
So beautiful the snow covering the branches of the trees 🌲 🌲 🌲 (Source, used without edit in this comment)

Even the lakes are fully frozen πŸ₯Ά and covered with a layer of snow now β˜ƒοΈβ˜ƒοΈ the views are epic along the lakes 😎

Do you see the #sunhalo ?

…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘‹πŸ»
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come by” 🎨

Hello my dear friend @jlufer πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Š I am well, hope you are too.
I know… amazing to have found the bee hive in the middle of the snow. They are sleeping now but once spring comes they fly out again 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
It was magical to see them so close by on the road.
I am happy I could share this with you today 😊

Something to look forward to, by the way I forgot to mention the beehive, my grandpa had a few hives, and I helped him quite a bit to take care of them, it was really fun, and the honey was of course also tasty lol.

No worries…I have been crazy busy too and haven’t been able to post much. Just one post a week.
I have been here over 2 weeks now. 11 more days left.
Hope all is well and it settles down for you soon. 😊

We are going more north with every stay… the snow is knee deep now and we had -19… πŸ₯ΆπŸ₯Ά very cold. Luckily it looks like it get a bit warmer soon. Still negative temperature though. But one can go longer out and about.
This isn’t a holiday trip, so I don’t have a lot of free time to explore. Luckily I do have some. 😊
Will share more wintery captures, especially when back in Ireland.

Glad you liked them, photos and the video.
The reindeer were magical. Such a precious moment.
Have a great day πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Š

Thank you so much Joe.
It’s stunning… the higher north we go, the deeper the snow gets πŸ˜Šβ˜ƒοΈ

Yes, I had the same as they have in Sweden when I lived in the Netherlands. Around September / October you change your summer tires to winter tires. Until about April you change them back.
It is obligated here.
It drives so much better on the snow. Without it would be very slippery, late stops etc.
up north in Sweden they drive with iron spikes in the tires. For the icy roads. Very interesting 🧐

Yes, luckily for me… so I could film them. They are so cute 😊
Good evening to you Joe πŸ‘‹πŸ»

These were old and the wood is either stained / sealed or painted in the red colour.
It’s a local product from the mines… so most houses you see in that colour. It protects the wood very well in any weather.

Yes, it soooo was. Yesterday we had another encounter. But the conditions on the road were bad. We had mist, heavy snow and it was dark. Suddenly they popped up in the road. Luckily we could break in time. We didn’t drive fast luckily as we just couldn’t hehehe
It must have been about 10 reindeer standing there.
Magical moments… though, even with those conditions.

I hope I see some other wildlife like the moose a bit closer by. πŸ€πŸ˜Š

Yes, most of the roads are like that.
The number one traffic accidents here are with wildlife.

I did see one driving along a dark… truly dark road. It was a mother with her young. Sadly she was too far away in a garden off the road up a hill. My camera would not have been able to capture them. Memory remains though πŸ˜‰
One day πŸ˜ƒ I hope to see one closer by in better light conditions.

I spent Christmas in London around 20 years ago. It snowed like 2 days after I left. I was so cross! I got all of the cold and none of the snow. I'll have to try again now that my mom is back on that side of the world. She's coming to us this year though. She arrives tomorrow!

That’s great, enjoy the time with your mom. Have fun!
Next time you could visit her…

The lakes froze over and I was wearing like 3 thermal vests and 7 layers of clothes. Still flipping freezing. I believe it actually gets slightly warmer after it snows. Not sure how true that is but I remember swearing every time the bus doors opened 🀣

Yep, lakes are frozen here.
Inland is much more nicer with snow than the icier cold along the coast.
And if it is a dry snow one can get used to it.
Layers are indeed the answer.
Hahaha !LOL
I can imagine β˜ƒοΈβ˜ƒοΈβ˜ƒοΈ

Here 8n cape town in the lower lying areas we don't get snow but we get terrible wind (the kind that turns your umbrella inside out and turns you into an unwilling MaryPoppins). Recently our rains have returned, which is glorious, but we also have major floods. It's exceptionally tragic for people living in informal settlements. Their homes just get washed away.

That’s tough especially when it is that strong.
The rain is good but not for everyone. That’s sad in many ways…
Have a good week further πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Š

I'm sure we've spoken about this before but holy crap is Scotland unreasonably cold!! Even the cows are super hairy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and I wasn't even there in winter. It was late summer, early autumn!

I wished I was still in Scotland. (The UK refused my residency, even though hubby is British 😳 so had to move countries again. I am in Ireland for now.) Only been in Scotland end of December to about May. I think it also depends on the layers you are wearing. Where you are going too.
We were right on the west coast… coldest part. I loved it for the raw nature… πŸ₯°
I am sure I will visit it again. Hopefully in the other seasons than.

I was in Edinburgh, the old town. We did go quite a long way to see the ocean though. It was quite something. Like seeing the tip of the world as we know it. My mom has residency, because of how long she's worked there, but I'm afraid that won't help me much. I suppose I could look at ancestral visas through my grandparents but all that is such a pain in the butt now. Immigration laws are incredibly strict everywhere. It's a hot topic, for sure, but aside from people who abuse the system, it would be so nice, in an ideal world, if we could share our homelands with others. We're not good at sharing though... as the human race... and that's sad.

However, now that I'm mature enough (coughs) I'll start trying to set money aside to take Matthew to visit my mom there. Matthew will just burst with excitement at the chance of a trip like that. I'd LOVE to share that experience with him and travel with my mom again.

I'd like to see Wales and Ireland this time but also go back to Scotland. I'm Scottish on both my mom's and my dad's side of the family. Explains the annoying persistent ginger undertones when bleaching my hair! Also, why Matthew was born ginger πŸ˜‚ well, actually, we were both born with pink/ strawberry blonde hair, but damn that gene is strong hey. It tends to skip an generation or two but then comes back here and there for no reason at all other than to make children think they're adopted 😱

Seriously, I spent a lot of time digging through my mom's private stuff when I was little. I was convinced I wasn't one of them. Turns out I couldn't be more wrong. I'm as Mobey/ Pape/ Taylor as it gets.

I loved the old town of Edinburgh.
You could try that way indeed. But I get it. It is a hassle right now and they changed so many rules.
Since Brexit it is worse…
I know, it could be so nice to share and get along. But it won’t happen. Every where it gets more difficult to live.

That sounds like a plan, I can imagine his surprise when it happens one day. Such an experience.

Yes, a gene that keeps popping up.
Wow, yes… one questions if they are from their parents if the looks are so different. Luckily people learn over the years and even treasure those traits now 😊

I hope you can make that journey one day soon and show Matthew.
Enjoy your evening πŸ€—
