Identify this oak-like tree snowy landscape?

I apologise for the low res photo (part of a photography project I'm working on).

 

Here's another photo at higher resolution. It definitely had leaves.

 

If I may, I don't think it's a Quercus ilex, the leaves have needle shape (you should be able to see it in some isolated section in the image)

 

It can definitely be a scots pine maybe, it fits the needle shaped leaves and the region.

 

Better image, does look like pine. But without knowing how many needles and what size and colour, not very easy to give a definite answer, there are hundreds of different pine species. Just to throw it out there a pine is a conifer. Any tree that grows cones is a conifer. But I understand you mean it is not a Norway spruce or some such. Sorry to be pedantic.

I live in Norway.  All Pines are called Furu.  

 

Essentially they are all Scots Pines unless in an Arboretum/Botanical Gardens.

 

You are correct there are loads of species of Pine, but IME that tree in that location will most probably be a Furu

Nice. Norway has always interested me as a place to visit. I imagine it is pretty quiet sort of place out in the countryside. 

 

I am guessing the cold is a dry cold and not a damp cold, but one must still need their layers when outside?

Well you have a bit of a head start. You live in Sweden and I have never yet ventured to Scandinavia. Though I do like the liquorice.

Yes mate.  In the Oslo area it is a dry cold for the most part.  The west coast is a different story.  We have had a very mild winter for Norway.  Not much snow, in fact it was the first year since records began where there was no snow in Oslo for the entire month of January.

 

I much prefer the climate here.  Much more stable than the UK.  Layer up as you know it will be cold.  -6 or colder.  It is much more comfortable working than +6, rain and wind like in the UK.

Nice looking place.
