A Frozen Lake and Barcelona
David, old favorite on the blog, came to visit us a few weeks ago. We were really excited because we would have one day in Gothenburg, then shoot up to Kiruna for four and a half days of far-north activities: northern lights, dog sleds, ice hotels, Arctic Circle - the works. We did lots of Gothenburg things the day after he arrived. One big surprise for all of us was Delsjön! It had been (and is now again) ass-cold in the entire country. Lots and lots of snow and temperatures hanging around -5 to -10! I wanted to take David on my "regular walk" through the woods but when we got to the lake this is what we saw:
We were eating through all the foods and wines David and Carrie had been saving - hence the foie gras and caviar and things. The salmon rillettes I demanded. We had them during my wedding weekend way back on when at Buchon. We have been unable to repeat them exactly, though this time we came much closer.
I'm in a tie too, just wanted to show.
David changed out of his tuxedo to cook, the bastard.
For those who would be curious: all of these were taken with the Fuji x100, probably at 3200 or 6400 ISO. It's a nifty little camera.
This photograph is particularly interesting to me because he is red/green colorblind. This probably looks like a normally-lit portrait to him.
