Challenge #48 "my love/hate for winter"

view profile

Riekie vdB  Pro User  says:

While this morning the first snow of this year was falling (Delft, Holland) I thought about how I love and at the same time hate this season.
My love goes to the food, "boerenkool met worst" (don't know what it is in english) and to the fact that I can light the candles at 6 o'clock and watch it getting darker before I have to turn on the lights.
I also love skating, which I will be doing this weekeind, and drinking hot chocolate to get warm again!
I hate the cold and having to put loads of warm clothing on before I can go outside. I really don't likeI having to go to work on my bike when the roads are slippery :)
You all will have your love and hate moments with this season. Share them with me in your photos and please tell what your reason for posting the photo is.

OUR CHALLENGE RULES

- The challenge is "my love/hate for winter".
- All group members are welcome to participate, the more, the merrier.
- We are looking for FRESH photos - taken AFTER the Challenge was issued! [which is: February 3, 2012]
- Post as many pictures as you like (as long as they are freshly taken).
- If you remember, tag your entries "my love/hate for winter"; but it's not crucial.
- Post your entries into the group pool, AND into this thread in the SMALL size.

- We will arrange an online vote to decide upon the winner.
- In the event of a tie, the first image to be posted in this thread which has the most votes will be declared the overall winner.
- The winner chooses the next Challenge.

The closing date for the challenge will be 10:00pm on 18 February 2012. Good luck everyone!

EDIT This Challenge is now closed - please see the results below. Thank you to everyone who participated.

What I hate about this season is that you can have a bright (almost too bright) day with a serene blue sky.....AND YET IT'S BLOODY -2 BELOW!

I hate to stand on a cold platform in the evening, hungry and tired, and to hear that the train I'm waiting for is cancelled due to 'heavy weather':

Peas soup is a typical Dutch winter soup served with rye bread with bacon. I love peas soup but I'm allergic to celery/celeriac (an essential ingredient), so I've invented a version of my own
