A hiker bundled up warmly
treks through magical spikes
of frosted spruce
scattered across
a blue landscape
tinged along the horizon
in a ribbon of orangey-pink
aware and prepared
for winter’s wonderland.

The photo is called “Blue Hour at Riisitunturi;” Riisitunturi is a national park in Finnish Lapland, which is just under the Arctic Circle! Follow the link to visit!
I like this photo because the people there probably would not close school due to snow: they are accustomed to it and have the equipment to deal with it — including snow shoes!
