Happy New Year

First post of the year is this macro shot and like yesterday I would like to wish you all a Happy 2012.

Thinking about the future

The last post of the year (no, I'm not done with the review of the year) features this one of the tower of Christiansborg, where the Danish parliament resides, and with a sculpture thinking. The last day of the year is good time to reflect on the future. Hopefully the current economic crisis in the world will be solved, but I guess it will demand a lot of thinking, a lot of deciding and a lot of action. Unfortunately that is not the three things the current crop of politicians are best at. And with that gloomy thought I wish you all a happy New Year, I hope all your wishes come through and that you and your family may prosper despite all.

In the Middle of a Forest

After a heavy snowfall the forests of Sweden looks like they have been powdered with icing sugar by a very generous giant. And for city folks the quiet out there is almost disturbing.

A Lamp with a Hat of Snow

Snow is something I don't tire of easily, as you might have noticed. This photo of a lamp with a hat of snow was taken the same place as yesterday's, just outside of Arbrå on the first day of the year.

In the Countryside

Today's pic is from my trip to Sweden, where I spent Xmas. This is taken at my niece's in-laws just outside the little town of Arbrå on the first day of the year. We were really in the countryside here, nice, quiet and very winterly.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you'll have a great one this year. My philosophy is always to start the day with a smile, so why not start the year with one as well?

Last post

The last post of the year is this one from a very run-down Swedish house in sore need of a caring hand. A great symbol, I think, of the year that is coming to an end tonight. What will the new year bring? I'm no oracle, but I'm sure that it'll bring a lot of posts on this blog, hopefully with some pleasing photos and a bit of explanation as well. I might do a total re-furbishment here, show photos from new places or show you some of the hidden places in Copenhagen. Or maybe all of the above. That is not decided yet, but I hope that you'll have a great New Year anyway:)
