Winter's Final Breath - MyPictureDay Submission

Croatia - Mediterranean As It Once Was...
Maybe in July.

In February it looks like this:

This is what you get when you combine -7 degrees Celsius, with a 150km/h wind. This actually feels more like -25.

As the wind blows it is lifing very small particles of water and bombards the enviroment. This continues for a couple of days and then you get these poor boats looking like the photo was taken in Murmansk, Russia.

And it was fun shooting also. After maybe 10 minutes my fingers were completely numb. They felt like fat, unusable, good for nothing chopsticks. I did wear some gloves, but they were thin because with thick ones I cannot feel the camera controls. Turned out to be the same after all...

Despite the heavy conditions and frozen fingers, I did it enjoy it in a way. It brings out some admiration, to see the nature showing us who's the boss from time to time.

After a while, me and my carrot-fingers decided it was enough so I went back to the car, turned on the heating, and just sat on my hands for 10 minutes...

Funny thing is, in just a couple of weeks, you'll have people walking around this area in shorts.

That's how #MyPictureDay went...

Thanks for reading,

Cheers,
Nino.
