A legnagyobb téli hidegben előfordul, hogy kicsit elegünk van a hóból és a sötétből, Viggo Lundberg svéd fotós tájképei és drónfótói viszont tutira visszahozzák a leghidegebb évszak vadromantikáját.

“Deep in the grip of the midwinter cold, The stars glitter and sparkle. All are asleep on this lonely farm, Deep in the winter night. Only tomten is awake.” / Poem by Viktor Rydberg There’s no really accurate translation for “tomte”, the small mythological creature from Nordic folklore today typically associated with midwinter and the Christmas season. A tomte is generally described as being no taller than 90 cm, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in grey or red. They often have an appearance somewhat similar to that of a garden gnome. According to tradition, the tomte lives in the houses and barns of the farmstead, and secretly act as their guardian. If treated well, they protect the family and animals from evil and misfortune, and may also aid the chores and farm work. However, they are known to be short tempered, especially when offended. Once insulted, they will usually play tricks, steal items and even maim or kill livestock. #tomten
