As November kicks off, the Swedes start to dress in blacks and greys
Blending into the wintry background with colours that match their melancholic souls.
But NO – I tell you! The coming season doesn’t need more grey – it needs more colour.
Give me the colours of energy and life!
Give me vibrant yellows, vivid greens or electric blues. Give me fifty shades of neon pink if you must!
And judging by this sunset, nature agrees with me.

I’m one of those crazy people who LOVE Winter…. I love the drab colors of winter. It’s a time for nature to take a break….. AND–it’s a time for me to have more inside time (working on my Family History –which gets neglected at other times during the year)…. As much as I love Spring and Fall, I will say that I also love WINTER… Bring it on!!!!!! ha

Stunning colors in your sky. I’d agree that winter is the time for bright color wherever you can find it…your sweater if not in your sky ;>)….I’m (partly) of Swedish origin and my grandmother always told me that melancholy was part of my inheritance (a lovely thing to tell a child wasn’t it?)

I agree with you, I love lots of color in my world – and Mother Nature clearly agrees with you too! If your photos were only of these incredible skies, they’d be gorgeous enough. But to get all that amazing color reflected in the water, too? BONUS! 🙂 We seldom get pink sunsets here (they’re usually orange and gold), so your second photo especially was a real treat for the eyes!
