This is where the the sun is in the sky just after 2 in the afternoon. While the sun is low, it's higher than it was last month at this time! The view is over Ladugårdslandsviken in central Stockholm.
It's snowing just now. And that makes winter a lot easier to handle in my opinion. The path here is along Strandvägen in central Stockholm.
This is the time of year that I struggle with the most. Daylight hours are still short. Sunrise is around 8.30 and sunset around 3.20. It’s definitely better than last month at this time. But winter still seems endless. Just so you can see what it’s like: the top photo was taken just after 2 in the afternoon. Notice how low the sun is in the sky.
We came in yesterday after a two-hour walk and I could not warm up for hours. I wrapped myself in a blanket and practically sat on top of the radiator. I thought about going to the gym to use the sauna, but that meant I would have had to walk back outside again. And I absolutely did not want to do that.
In the Stockholm archipelago at midnight with Robert, Kathleen and Giorgio.
So instead I was looking through some photos and came across the one above. It was taken in early July in the Stockholm archipelago. And guess what time it was taken. Midnight. Yes, that is what the sky looks like at midnight in the summer. This is why I live in Sweden. All that light ALMOST makes struggling through winter worth it.
