Dawn

..or should that be pre-dawn? It's 5 in the morning and the sun will be coming up in 55 minutes. The picture is taken out of the kitchen window.
Being a very clear night the temperature was down to minus 11°C. This froze the wet snow so when we were walking in the afternoon we could just walk across the snow without sinking in at all.
We took that walk in Kramfors, where we spent the afternoon.  This flickr image was taken on the walk, from just behind the industrial estate where a minor problem with our car was being fixed. It shows the view across the lake (albeit frozen and snow-covered) to part of the town of Kramfors.
Across the bottom of the picture is an ice-road, with the snow cleared off the ice. I'm not sure if it is cleared for cars or for ice-skaters - we saw neither while we were watching.
In the evening we went to see another film, Sophelikoptern, The Garbage Helicopter. International Romani Day is coming up on the 8 April and this film featured three young Romani on a road trip from the north of Sweden (where their family lives) to Stockholm (1000 kms), where grandma lives. The main language in the film is Romani though there is also a fair bit of Swedish and a bit of English. One of the running jokes in the film is that because they look slightly different everyone starts talking to them in English, and they have to explain, again and again "Vi pratar svenska".  (We talk Swedish.) It's the second time we've seen this almost surrealistic film full of deadpan humour, and it was even better seeing it again.
And to return to the pre-dawn photo, once I'd got the picture I went back to bed and slept another few hours!
