White and sparse apartments with open fire places which burn wood fetched at midnight
on bikes in the snow. and old copies of the new yorker.
Suns that set at 2.30pm silhouetting lights strung across every street against the pinking skies, trees white with snow.
Water and boats and buildings which turn pink in the fading afternoon light.
Skies which seem to be constantly blue, even when it snows.
and boats with many masts and lots of rigging, ready to take you to another island, or maybe even across the sea.

It looks like a really beautiful city. Didn't envy you the temperatures over New Year though - made London seem tropical by the sounds of it!
Wow, beautiful. I always felt some kind of a kinship with Scandinavians, because they do have a lot of things in common with us Quebecers, including the naturally progressive and laid-back mentality, as well as the climate (huge thing). Somehow in my mind I've been wondering if one automatically goes with the other... Or maybe not.
I'm surprised to hear that the sun sets at 2:30! Here the earliest is 4, and I refer to these few weeks as the "dark" ones. We've now been gaining back 2-3 minutes of sunlight daily for the past three weeks, so it already sets at around 4:30, and it's only getting better.
The sunset happens at 2.30pm but it isn't dark til about 3.30pm. Still felt very early.
Wow, what a beautiful blog....though the snow is making me cold and we already have enough of it right here!
Huge thanks for looking at my Walker blog! Jane
