Light!

I don't like the darkness that characterizes Sweden in the fall, winter and early spring...

I don't like losing around 12 minutes of daylight per day between June 22 and December 21.

And I really don't like getting up when it is dark, going home when it is dark, buying groceries in the dark...

Cuz it's really dark here in the winter.... like really dark... like in December, it hardly gets past twilight, even at high noon.

But today, while I was getting ready for work, the sun burst onto the horizon. The picture doesn't do it justice, but here it is anyway. It made me forget, for a moment, how I dread the oncoming winter.
