Going to work in Norway – Sea smoke on the pier

I have to take a ferry to get to work and that is not always fun when it is winter. It has been pretty cold here in Norway the last few weeks and it seems like the Oslofjord is about to freeze.

We get some sea smoke due to the sea being warmer than the cold air and this morning there was this thick, freezing fog at the pier while I was waiting for the ferry. Wind brought the fog ashore onto all the waiting passengers who tried their best to keep warm.

Winter is nice and all with beautiful landscapes and skiing, but I wish it was 10 degrees warmer!
