Of snowy bikes and Christmas trees

My daughter and I visited Stockholm during the last weekend

Before school and work started.

The sky was heavy with the promise of more snow.

The pastel buildings looked like cakes

Topped with icing.

(Look at the height of the city’s Christmas tree – 38 metres tall

And decorated with 5,000 lights!)

Fairy tale buildings

Brightened the gloomy sky;

And optimism was not lost

In the knee-deep snow!

(Not sure if that cyclist ever managed to cycle home though!)
