Reappearing from under the snow

I really don't know what it is about benches, but in a peculiar way I find them interesting to photograph. As can be seen here and here (this one is taken on the 27.th of March 2012, exactly two years ago).

Tomorrow we are driving to Keflavík (hopefully everything goes well this time around, last weekend we were snowed in and couldn't travel). On Monday my mother will be discharged from the hospital, and I'm going to stay with her the first week, and then my sister will arrive from Norway and take my place for the next week after that.
