| i need to wait until mid to late april to see stockholm's cherry blossoms. |
for the last two weeks the weather tricked me into believing spring was just around the corner but then the first days of spring brought snow and a blast of cold winter-like temperatures. now the sun is peeking and the ground thawing again, could this be for real? do i dare hope?
update: i wrote the above yesterday. it's not for real. i woke up this morning and it was quite cold outside, the barista told me that snow is expected! what?
the swedes are optimistic though, despite the temperatures hovering around 6 degrees celsius, it's spring for stockholmers. even restaurants and cafes are putting out their outdoor furniture. i couldn't believe it, i wanted to yell out, "haven't you noticed, it's still winter!" it wouldn't matter, they'll just keep their winter jackets on, hoping for a peek of sunshine.
here are some spring images of stockholm under the sun, out of the cold and in the light...
