January morning in the village Spydeberg, app. 50km southeast of Oslo, Norway.
At the time this photo was taken (early in January) not so much snow - but it was a rather cold month for an extended periode the start of 2013.
January have been cold but with many sunny days in Norway South. As here in the lower mountains of Southern Norway in Tisleidalen, Valdres. The trees are still covered in snow, more looking like whipped cream in a setting like this.
The Majorelle Garden (Arabic: حديقة ماجوريل) is a twelve-acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was designed by the expatriate French artist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 1930s, during the colonial period when Morocco was a protectorate of France.
The garden has been open to the public since 1947. Since 1980 the garden has been owned by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé.
After Yves Saint Laurent died in 2008 his ashes were scattered in the Majorelle Garden.
