Low Light

As promised, a colour photograph.

I was working in Sweden this week. I didn't get time for much in the way of photography and the photos I got, like this one, were taken on breaks.

As you can see, the sun was pretty low in the sky and casting a rather nice light on the bushes, I thought. At this time of year the sun is never high in the sky in Sweden. This photo was taken at 14:24. An hour later, it was dark.

Funny place, Sweden. I experienced the shortest plane journey of my life, from Copenhagen to Jonkoping (about 30 minutes). The steward only had time to hand out drinks before the captain announced we were descending. By the time the empty cups had been collected, we were on final approach. At the airport, nobody checked my passport... in fact, there were no visible officials of any kind. My bag was first on the conveyor belt, which has never happened before, and I was sitting in a taxi on my way to my temporary home before I'd even worked out how to pronounce Jonkoping (try Yencherping??).
My return journey was equally effortless and the stay, in between times, was both enjoyable and interesting. Perhaps I should consider emigrating? On second thoughts, seeing that I've already done that, I'll stay where I am.
