I'm continuing in the snow priority mode. Today was a bright day, also a cold one at -18 °C. There is a lot of snow on trees and on the ground, but not many people outside.

For those daring to go outside the day provided an ample dose of bright winter sunshine, even though the sun was low on the horizon. But still, the length of day is now almost six hours (5 h 58 min).

Update: TOP lists the most popular photobooks of 2009. I only have #1 of the listed books, and it is great: Looking at Photographs: 100 Pictures from the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art by John Szarkowski.
