Swedish New Year



You need to use your imagination to picture downtown Stockholm (above) all lit up with fireworks. And not dinky fireworks, but the real kind: seductive and ephemeral.

We are usually asleep before midnight, but celebrated with dear friends in Stockholm the night before we flew home to the States. Imagine the coast below in the dark with fireworks embroidering the horizon. Peace the difference between awe & fear.
