Sun worshipping

Sun worshipping on Kungsholmen: a necessary pastime. Photo by Robert Corkery.

I had not lived here long before I noticed them: the sun worshippers. It was September and everywhere I went, if it was sunny, people were sitting outside with chins up, eyes closed, soaking in the rays as if they might not be there tomorrow. I laughed about it then, thinking that those Swedes were sun obsessed. Now I am also part of the cult. I was out on both Saturday and Sunday to sit in the sun. It was good.
