The Danish have a word that celebrates dark, winter coziness. It is Hygge, pronounced pronounced “hYOOguh.” I think of it often when people complain of the cold and the dark of winter. In winter, enjoying the outdoors and then coming home and enjoying friends, family and food by a blazing warm fire is how I celebrate winter’s sleepy darkness. This photo captures that idea of coziness under the mountains with a snowy blanket.
