Culture and Colors

This is why we're gone to Stockholm, or at least why I tagged along. Anthony had a meeting and we wanted a weekend away, but overall, I was in desperate need of some...




This is why you fly from Stavanger to Stockholm.



And yep, it's ultra sunny there, too.

Ocassionally with the winter darkness and the rain and the cold, Scandinavia can seem a bit dreary.

But if you pay attention you'll see shots of color, almost as if there are so many subtle reminders that all is not bleak. Just because we have weather and a sharp angle of the Earth, that is not us...

Buildings are colorful, even if they are sometimes a bit faded. Trains are blue and red. In the crowds of people you'll see the requisite black and grey city fashion, but often with a shot of bright, a red scarf, an orange bag or sunny yellow raincoat.

And in traffic, idling with the neutral sedans and hatchbacks are sprinklings of shiny red cars.
