The golden sun reflecting off of one of the many trees in the forest.
The Lake.
Beautiful and peaceful x 100 :o)
Sunset!
We were happy :o)We soon discovered that all of the conversations about summer weather and sun were a simple coping mechanism for the long, cold, dark, and dreary months of winter. And I have to admit, they worked. Now that summer has arrived, I can say from experience that the sunsets truly are like nothing I have ever seen before. They are simply gorgeous.
Besides the fact that I have a few buildings and a parking lot for my view, I also have a window facing West, or at least partially West, meaning I can enjoy the sunset from my room every night. It has been fun to watch the sunset as the winter and spring have come and gone. Now, although the sun sets every night, the sky never turns black, and at around 2:30, the sky reaches its darkest shade, a rich royal blue.
A few nights ago, Kim, Anja, Antje, Keilin and I decided to take a walk to the nearby lake to see the sunset. We left at about 9:15, and arrived just as it was about to dip below the horizon. We had clouds and rain the entire day, but for those couple of hours, the sky was completely clear. We stayed at the lake until around 10:45, when we decided to make our way back home. It was a wonderful way to spend one of my last nights here in Sweden. I'll never forget it!
