The Cat Photographer

This morning was one of the most beautiful mornings during this winter so far. The trees, the streets, the cars, everything is covered with snow. Huge amounts of it. It has been snowing so much lately it's impossible to drive cars for instance. Until the streets are uncovered no one moves. There are at least 0,5 meters of snow everywhere and by the sides of the roads the piles are even higher. Snow brings some challenges to our everyday life here in the North, but it also makes everything amazingly beautiful. When the sun shines on the untouched fields of snow, the views are breathtaking.

Inspired by the weather, as soon as I had got up, I took my two cameras and off I went to the freezing cold weather. I had walked to one of my favorite spots by the lake (approx. 2km) when I noticed that the battery of my small camera was running out - and that I had left the battery of my Nikon at home. Typical.

I had a nice walk in the park however, and while I was walking back I came up with a new title for my blog.  Got excited about this. It is so hard to come up with a proper title! I love cats and photography, so I thought it is only natural for me to title this blog "the cat photographer". I have loads of cat pictures and the best ones I thought I will share here. I was also thinking that I might resend some of my old blog posts while I was still travelling as there are some very nice photos from those times. Which reminds me of this: I am still (even to my own surprisement) seriously considering of rejoining Emirates - I miss travelling so much. At the same time, I am extremely grateful about the possibility of being back home and studying. It is only few months left and then we, 50 new police cadets, are sent to the "field", to the real world.

Let's see what happens. Rushing never does any good.
