Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Great pics, those Mars boats are awesome!
Couldn't resist a modest contribution: this Porjus Flyghamn resident belongs to the 'Kiruna Flygklubb', and was already tied down for winter.

looks like it was cold
Er... on the contrary: I took this picture Wednesday October 4th, and I remember it was approx. 14°C. Mind you: about 50km north of the arctic circle!
But summer has gone, that's for sure. Time for hibernation until next year's season begins :(

Mazzels,
Rob

cool! .....uhm....warm.. :)

only time I was sort of near the Artic Circle (Oulu, Finland) it was 28 degrees......
Principially I agree on the hibernation, but winterlight can also get you great pics..

Floatplanes in the winter, interesting topic that would be... (skateplanes?)
