Of course I will give you a proper Christmas card too!

My first one was borderline abstract, this one is more like classical…

Here we can see Santa’s little red house, nicely located in the outskirts of the forest! The brown house to the left side is where Santa keeps the reindeer. As you see the place is quiet today, they are all out doing their annual duty…

Enjoy your Holidays!



By the way… Santa’s little Helper came to his senses and went soft… see workshop!

Hi Pablo,
Lovely view, nice sharp colors.
I'm going to sign up as Santa's helper too; I really like the place :D
Today is Christmas day; I hope enjoy it with good health and lots of joy.

Joho joho, Pablo.
So I can expect him here in a meantime? lol
Lovely Christmas 'card'
Have a very fine Christmas day, Pablo.

Hi Pablo, lovely landscape, splendid light and colors, very well done, Merry Christmas to you, ciao Silvio

Hi Pablo,
This all really funny. The note and the WS made me smile. The photo is just beautiful. The two houses really give a great idea of the size of the mountain and trees. The red house is perfectly positioned and add great contrast to the photo. A lovely photo that is perfectly exposed.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Pablo!
Thanks for greetings, thanks for this Norwegian snow-scape! I hope you are ok, because I got a severe cold after my last mountain visit... Let your 2007 be as bright as your Xmas photo!

That's so beautiful and typical, Pablo,

Nice and crisp, with good details. I am waiting for a day like this to go to the mountains here also....

Hello Pablo, great landscape and thank you so much for showing me where Santa lives! I thought he lived in the North Pole but you found him! I am not surprised! Norwegians are such great people, no wonder Santa lives there :)

Beautiful sharp picture, very classical as you say in the note. But always a winner!

Great composition and colours.
Great work.

Yan :)

ps: many thx for your sweet words on "Happy Holidays!" :) Best wishes!

Merry Christams to you and your family.

Clear blue sky on the top and white snowy landscape is looking magnificient. Trees are clear which shows that last snow was fallen quite some time ago. Alone house in the jungle is looking interesting.

I think Papa Noel which was on the way from Turghan Pass and going to Shimon had a coffee in that house. Sounds perfect that helper is okey and ready....

Thanks for sharing beautiful image and a nice commentry note.

a wonderful shot with th esmall red house... TFS

Merry Christmas! Great picture, perfect for a post card!

Hi Pablo

I always wondered where Santa lived. I thought it was the north pole :)

As you live so close to him can you thank him for my new lens and ask him if I can have a tripod next year if I am very good.

Lovely winter scene. Just like a Christmas card

TFS

Karan

Hi Pablo. Excelent winter scene. I hope Father Christmas will not catch you photographing his house. I have always been told if you see Father Christmas the he will leave you no presents. :~)

You have a great talent for tales, Pablo! But I have to deceive you now because I took a picture of the REAL Santa's house in Alaska!!
You managed well the exposure here; fine details can be perceived on snow as well as on dark densities of forest.
Best regards.
