The February 2012 wallpaper has Norwegian origin. The photo was taken within the arctic circle at the island Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The small airport of Longyearbyen can be seen at the bottom of the photo.
When I was visiting Svalbard a few years back in the month of March temperatures were at -25C (-13F) and the strong wind made it feel like -50C (-58F)! It was almost too cold to be outside with your camera and shoot beautiful landscapes.

After the vivid colors of the November 2011 wallpaper I have chosen a neutral photo for the December 2011 wallpaper.
This photo was taken mid December last year in the Nacka nature reserve in Stockholm after a heavy snowstorm.

For all of you who do not live in Sweden I can tell you that we have an unusual amount of snow for the time of year. Also the temperatures are lower than we are common with in December.
Early December I was traveling to the Netherlands to visit my family. On a beautiful Saturday morning we had some real snow showers there creating a mere 15 cm of snow. Unfortunately overnight temperatures went up and rain came. By the time we woke up almost all the snow had gone. Unlike the situation often in middle and north Sweden this is quite common in the Netherlands.
Anyway, last weekend we had beautiful weather around Stockholm, thus it was time to take out the cameras and make some snow shots. It was a cold experience though, with temperatures as low as -15 degrees C I was sometimes knee deep in the snow trying to find the perfect composition.
With the sun setting already before 3pm combined with the low temperatures you get to see a fantastic colored sky with blue’s and magenta’s.
