About ....Happy New Year to my UF friends....

Since I saw this, I made my New Years resolutions: taking a few more ski lessons :-)

The word "ski" goes back to the Old Norse i.e. North Germanic language word skíð meaning "a stick of wood".In modern Norwegian this word is pronounced [ʃiː]. This word is now used in most languages in the world. Languages like English and French use the original spelling "ski", and modify the pronunciation. Languages like Italian pronounce it exactly as in Norwegian, and modify the spelling: "sci". German and Spanish adapt the word to their linguistic rules; "Schier" and "esquís". Interestingly, many languages make a verb form out of the noun, such as "to ski" in English, "sciare" in Italian, or "schilaufen" in German which is not possible in Norwegian. In Swedish, a close relation to Norwegian, the word is "skidor" (pl.). However Finnish language has its own ancient words for skis and skiing. In Finnish ski is suksi and skiing is hiihtää.

For the word "love" I can not find the origin. Probably it is somewhat more complicated than whatever kind of sport :-)

great indirect title, that turn the subject of ski exactly 180 degree,a very clever one,indeed.
also it adds a lot to the already valued photo,
a lesson for those saying the title of the shot is not important,if it worths 7,the title adds score to sum 70.
7/7,and more.
my regards,
Saad.

Another view on "portrait" format. Now the accent is more on love not on the skies. But ...I do not want to make it more complicated than it just is :-)
Just looking for a good balance.
