Here in Norway and Scandinavia the winter month of January can be though. It can be very cold and the days are quite short. So when the sky is grey and cloudy the surroundings look like a black and white landscape. Now that February has arrived the days are starting to get a little bit longer. Now the sun rise at 0815 and set at 1645.

Doing macro photography can be difficult this time of the year, as it is dependent of a sufficient amount of light. Photographing leaves is fun as they comes in so many shapes. During winter they turn grey or black, but some times you can find some that have some colors left. Like this rowan (in the photo below), it still has some deep brown color. The landscape behind is all in shades of grey and the brown leaf stand a little bit out due to the frosty edges. Winter may be colorless but it is beautiful in many ways.
