Summertime in Sweden, the sun rises early. Here in Stockholm the sun rises at half past three, and in the northern parts it never sets. This time a year I sleep a lot less than the rest of the year, due to all the light, and I guess it’s the same for many Swedes. At the same time the energy level is really increasing.
Recently I’ve started a new habit, to be at work a couple of hours before everyone else, get rid of all those administrative tasks, get a cup of coffee, and then head out for a little walk in a city that’s waking up. The most cosy part of the day, if you ask me.
This is a pic from the office, right after reading the news paper and I’ve had my first cup of coffee of the day. Really liked the light in the room when I got back from the coffee machine.
I hope you all have a really nice day!

I am SO glad you’re back. I adore this photo – so well seen and captured with the shadows and throw of light. I agree – early morning, city waking, wonderful time of day. Though 3.30am is such a hard concept for me to grasp!
Thanks Marina! π I think I was a little unclear in the text.. I’m not at WORK at 3:30 π Maybe I really should sleep more anyway? π I usually get here around 6 AM. A perfect time. π
Hope you have a great day!
You were clear – just the thought of sun shining at 3.30am is hard for me to grasp!
Haha.. ok, I really starts to think that I need a little more sleep anyway π
In the northern parts of Sweden it never goes down during the summer, on the other hand it’s gone for two months in the winter time π
yes, those 2 months of darkness would really be tough. I’d like to experience it though.
wonderful moment you captured, fascinated me. Thanks and Love, nia
