First snow and a show
The first snow has fallen. Mixed with rain and soon to be splashed around the highways. Traffic chaos. People rushing to the subways in wet coats and boots. Winter in Stockholm sucks.
Oh, give me endless snowfall. Give me snow caves and goose feather overalls. Give me snow scooter rides on the frozen sea. Give me minus 10 degrees on a crystal clear day. Give me the sparkling snowflakes ray.
Or give me this.
I was so warm inside yesterday at Elin Sigvardsson’s show. She was amazing and beautiful and cool and her new songs are more catchy and bluesy than before. Such a great vibe! But her final, stripped down version of “If I” struck me straight to the core…
“I get nothing done as the sun moves up and down without you…”
Micke and I had a few Nils Oscar beers and Indian take out before going to the venue.
Such a great beer!
The next picture is taken in the cable car that goes from up the hill, down to the subway. It’s pretty silly because walking takes four minutes and the car crawls at a snail’s pace down the cable while people sit awkwardly silent for two minutes which feels like an eternity. But when it’s freezing outside, I guess it’s worth it.
For those in warm, sunny places right now; keep cool.
For those that’s not; get hot.
This is Elin. Such a great mix of both!
Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening…Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep”. Just like the poem.
Thank you!
You are quite welcome.
‘Tis one of my favorites.
I’m staying cool over here in sunny warm California. Looks like you had a great time!!!
Great music, thanks 🙂
And thanks so much for posting pictures — I really like looking at pictures… a little window into the person’s life…
I sometimes wish we had snow here…. at least for Christmas!
