Photography of Sweden, Swedish Seasons

Fotografi av Sverige, Svenska Säsonger

With long winters to endure, it is no surprise that summers are a time for celebration for Swedes and other Scandinavians. While summers are especially pretty, it is the northern winter and shoulder months that this antipodean found most remarkable; after all, our summers are specular and our winters are very mild by comparison.

To experience a Scandinavian winter is truly remarkable as one gets to experience real seasons and measurable seasonal change that turns on a daily basis once the change starts.

More remarkable are how elements of daily life blend into these changes and appear perfectly set within their surroundings, no matter the season.
