Stockholm – Day 1 – Part 1

Today is the first whole day we have in Stockholm. At around 5.17am I woke up from a strange loud noise, it was a kind of scrapping noise, MV woke up too. MV found out that the noise was made by the snow plough scrapping the snow off the roads!

We were feeling quite awake, so MV and I decided to head out for some photography whilst no one was around. It was cold and dark but the surrounding buildings were nicely lit. I found it difficult walking on snow. I found it quite tedious. The shoes bought from the Kathmandu shop were great. They kept the feet warm and dry, but it was heavy and since it was ankle high, I had sore ankles, must not tighten the shoes too much. Nevertheless, I took my first few shots and touched snow for the first time.

I also noticed that there are quite a few abandoned bicycles around, I started making a point of looking out for them.

Here is a link to some photos taken from the early morning. [Link]
