![]() Thursday, 27 November: Beautiful red sky at sunset, around 4:30PM, down the road in Hagatorg. (It's extremely windy, with gale warning all over the country.) |
![]() Friday, 28 November: And it's orange in the morning. Around 11AM from my balcony (still in my pyjamas.) Less windy today, nice & crisp at -3C. |

Saturday, 29 November: Another beautiful, cold day (-3 to -5C all day.) We go for a walk in the afternoon - though UsaKousa mostly stay wrapped up inside my bag.
Left: Sunlight at 2PM over the pond. |
Quick lunch at Sushibarinn along the way. I see the prices for individual pieces have gone right up since September, but still OK for us foreigners. It's good quality stuff too, this set at 9 Euro (miso soup extra) does me just fine. |

![]() Clouds over the luxury apartment blocks by the sea - where the construction seems to have stopped... |
![]() And some funny-shaped ones behind the Concert Hall/Conference Centre site - where the construction is still going on. |
![]() The sea is beautiful, but it's so windy and cold out here, so we don't stop for too long... |
![]() Downtown, just after 3. The sun's not setting yet - it's perpetually low at this time of the year. |
Slow dancing polar bears and penguins in a shop window. (MP4, 430KB.) |

![]() Spotted at the weekly protest outside the Parliament. Er... |
![]() Just around the corner, a strange man outside the bank. |
![]() Birds walking on ice - the pond is frozen over... |
![]() ...except for one little corner with warm water running into it - where it's nearly as crowded as a Tokyo Metro station... |
![]() A ball frozen at the edge of the pond. |
![]() Nice subtle colours as the sun goes further down. |
