There is no way that I am a good enough photographer to convey how freaking cold it was that day. The wind – that damn non-stop straight-from-the-North-Pole wind – cut right through me.

I did have enough foresight to bring winter gear with me and my big coat was nice and warm. My hat and gloves were less helpful, largely because for some ridiculous reason I left them in the car. Winter survival skills are not necessarily something I am skilled at, as you could probably already ascertain.
