Chillin

I had gone to school more than an hour early for my paper today because I needed to return a book, so I decided to take a slight detour and check out the lake at the back of my campus before that.

Pardon the quality, I used my secondary school Nokia phone to take the pictures. Though I don't think they're too shabby, and they capture the colours of winter pretty well.


The orange building is my school.



When water's frozen, it basically doesn't move (haha). So the waves were frozen in that position the whole time!


Fragments of ice frozen again in ice.


Sitting on the dock with ice as my leg rests.

 



I was curious as to how a frozen lake would feel like so I decided to tap (ok maybe step on a little) the ice with my foot. Stockholm isn't very cold now (0deg c), so the ice is thin. It wasn't as thin as I had expected because it could take significant weight, but I wouldn't walk or stand on it. In fact, I fractured some ice at one point and it was pretty scary watching that happen hoho.

Think the people jogging nearby must be thinking who's this crazy girl sitting on the dock and playing with ice.

This place is beautiful and quiet, I'll definitely come again to chill :)
