HI, I'm new to the list but listened in for awhile. Hot sounds great but my ideal Xmas is actually what I'm going to do next week, going home to YES the Arctic Circle and enjoy cold clear nights with Aurora Borealis, skiing and photography using my pentax stuff and MF camera.
WHere is home then, northern Sweden Scandinavia, lowest temperature record -52 C, expect to have down to about -30C now, enjoyable is down to -25 C, and the spit doesn''t freeze before hiting ground in sub -40C temperature (believe it or not but its true). Cheers, Happy Xmas and photographing Ronald
