I know, most of you may be impressed about the bicycle use, but it´s normal here in Finland to use it even on snowy days. Most people want to exercise and enjoy fresh air, and of course it´s a way to preserve the environment. Usually the municipalities take care of pedestrian roads, so people trust that they can go to work or anywhere else by bike.
This photo was taken on February 3, 2007 in Kouvola, Southern Finland, FI, using a Nikon D50.

FROM THE SAME SERIES
thank you Vince! Today I got very inspired, there was a lot of snow everywhere.. so nice! The real winter has just arrived to Finland, and everybody is happy to see so much snow.. and light of course! I was so tired of the darkness.. missed this white a lot.

Oh yes, what a day for a photographer today! You've got some fine winter wonderland shots! This one is particularly nice as the color red emphasizes all the whiteness very well.

Muy bonita y refrescante, en un dia de calor en Uruguay.

Preciosa Juan, y para mí tan extraño que ésto sea ahora, hoy tuvimos 39ºC, casi nos morimos. Como decimos aquí, fresquito para camiseta calada, para Ustedes se entiende.

Thanks Roomeri, Eddie, mun kuvia, Gustavo, lizardqueen, Anita&Greg and Gustavo for your very kind comments!

Hermosa imagen! bien helado. Estaría bueno dar una vuelta para refrescarnos.
Acá anteayer y ayer fueron días de infierno!!! Tal como dijo Gustavo 39ºC!!!!
Aparte de eso... es la mejor combinación que he visto: el rojo (de las casas, el saco de este tipo) y la blancura de la nieve. Tremenda captura Juan!
Y subilo al grupo Fotografos Uruguayos!

Buenisima, Juan... Me encantan los colores... parece que hubieras pintado el rojo sobre una foto B&N.
Realmente muy linda :)

A true Winter Wonderland! Beautiful shot -- I love the red of the barn echoed in the lady's red coat. (Not a day I'd choose for bike riding, though!)
