Cross-country skiing
Wednesday, 20th January 2010 • Individual photographs, Life • 2 comments
Jo learned to ski in Scotland when she was younger. After living here for several years now, she decided that it was about time to give cross-country skiing another try and give me my first shot at trying, as I’m not keen on regular skiing and had never tried cross-country before.
