I was this happy even after finding out that
my camera was useless. |
My sleeping pattern is all messed up, but the bright side is that I am much more awake than I normally am during daylight hours. This gave me a smashing Easter day on the ice with the husband - also probably one of the last days the ice was safe to tread; spring is coming fast and early this year. I brought the nice camera, but failed to remember the memory card, which was still stuck in my computer. "That´s a new one", said the husband, but I couldn´t be very miffed - it was too much of a glorious day for being grumpy for more than a split second. The husband had his iPhone, which takes very nice photos, and I had my watercolour sketchbook, which I got out when we found a warm wall against which to take our small picknick of tea and cookies.

| The steel works far away. As you can see, there is no Easter holiday rest for those who work there, the steam comes from the coke manufacturing. |

This old crane is a museum piece and a very distinct part of the skyline.
Had to draw. |

| In several places there were kick-sleds (Sw. spark) offered on loan. They call these spots "sparkings" (as in spark + parking). |

| Had to take a turn, it´s been ages. You can get quite speedy on these! |
I love your posts with photos taken outside. It's such a contrast from what we have here, where yesterday our high was in the low 80sF. An ice road amazes me!
ReplyDeleteWell, as spring progresses I hope there will be more posts like these. I certainly long to go out more. The ice roads are very handy for those who have summer houses in the archipelago. Many stock their pantries during the winter, bring out building materials and whatnot.
