On warm South Florida days like this, on March 1st, I think about a frozen lake or two I know in Sweden, and the intoxicating sound your skates make as steel meets ice. Or I'd be up in Kiruna, north of the Arctic Circle watching the auroras with Mia Stålnacke, now -officially- in the National Geographic

On warm South Florida days like this, on March 1st, I think about a frozen lake or two I know in Sweden, and the intoxicating sound your skates make as steel meets ice.
Or I'd be up in Kiruna, north of the Arctic Circle watching the auroras with Mia Stålnacke.

Even now when I find myself sitting in chairs waiting for appointments, I'm actually moving my feet in front of me like I'm making my way effortlessly across the ice.
To me, floating across a quiet frozen lake, whether by yourself or with someone, and not saying a word as you listen to the sound of your steel on ice, is the best kind of meditation there is.

One of the best things abt being in at this time of year = fact that the wonderful/stylish , a 59,000 sq ft contemporary photography center, 1 of my faves, is open until 1 am on Fri/Sat nites 4 us !🌛




Another great thing abt being in 🇸🇪 now is that there are not only 1,001 beautiful places to see & capture via yr 📸, but amazing places that can make U happy in ways that U can't be in . Like this! 😊




I know that criss-crossing the ice I would not -of course- look as cool as one of my favorite people, Maia Shibutani, but you get the idea! #relax

Even Marie Serneholt, one of our favorites, played the role of garland-clad siren on the rocks of the lake yesterday, as these great photos from her blog at Swedish ELLE's website prove quite conclusively, down to the gold and blue ribbon on her left wrist:

In a word -heavenly!

I found out a few days after I got back from my trip to Stockholm in January that I missed running into Marie at Fotografiska, which is the crazy amazing and beautiful Museum of Photography, by only a few days.
To have been able to meet music dynamos like Anni Bernhard at the beginning of the trip, as I did, and Marie Serneholt at the end, as I could've, would have been perfect bookends in my book.

Here are some sweet photos that Matie snapped there that also appeared on her very popular blog: http://marie.elle.se/en-onsdag-pa-fotografiska/

Marie is also the new host of TV4's Bingolotto singing show.
Here's a recent interview on TV4's Nyhetsmorgon about the new gig and her having grown up watching the show like so many other people, but it's in Swedish.

As some of you who know me reasonable well already know, when I see her, I always think of American singer Mandy Moore, too, and how much I expected her to have a larger profile in the U.S. doing TV shows and variety things, just like Marie does now in Sweden.
