Icy landscapes

By Christmas Day, I was worn out. I went to lunch and coffee downtown, then came back to pack for a trip. It didn't seem much like Christmas, but then it never does here anyway.

I got up 4:30 a.m. the day after Christmas, got ready, and headed to the train station.

I rode a high-speed train (299 km per hour was the fastest speed I saw) towards the north. I saw lots of snow and ice. Above is a icy lake in a snow-covered landscape.

The cold weather just makes me want to take a long nap.
