In Seattle, we’re enjoying some pretty balmy weather (for February). But I’m headed to Europe this week and I’m well aware that hundreds of thousands of people are suffering through a bone-chilling freeze–with temperatures dropping waaaay below normal. Amid mountains of snow and icicles as long as my arm, people are panicking and trying to help each other.
And some people are photographing.
I’ve shot in temps so cold that my film (yes film!) snapped and cracked when my camera would attempt to wind it… Seems like Eastern Europe is in that sort of mode right now. Times of great suffering and pain are also often times when some of the most touching, haunting, and remarkable art is made. Click thru this handful of frozen images via Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria and beyond by clicking thru the gallery tabs above. Just scratched the surface grabbing these off news services, etc. But if anyone has/knows other deep freeze images – particularly arty ones- please share a link below. Love to see them.

It’ s pretty cold in Hamburg/Germany too.
There the people can walk on the “Außenalster”.
Fairly iced up in Northern England at the moment but not letting that affect the stiff upper lip: http://brokenclockphotographic.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/kindersuitdiag.jpg

Chase, even the lake in front of Buckingham Palace in London froze!

In case any of you haven’t already seen, Infocus published a gallery last week with some really great shots.

It’s just a bit cold in Denmark. Nothing really to worry about.
