Changing Seasons

"Winter is long and summer is short, but intense", as the saying goes...By way of compensation for a long, dark winter northern Sweden is graced with sunlight round the clock during the height of the summer. Since i got here, i've experienced lengthy times with light.Initially the sun only went down at 10 plus in the night... and rose as early as 4plus in the morning!!! but as time passes, the setting of the sun is at 8plus and rising a little later...

Autumn is here now and temperatures have started dipping and the occassional rain doesnt really help in keeping me warm either ;) The wind is very chilly and to keep warm,i gotta shut my windows n doors most of the time...


The exodus of birds out of Scandinavia each autumn is one of nature's great spectacles. Migration of thousands of birds... there probably is no better place to witness it than southern Sweden

I'm really looking forward to experiencing snow...but i wonder if i will be able to stand the winter.
