Spring in Sweden

Tree Shadow, Stockholm

Beautiful sunny weather this morning, so I walked to the office. It's about a 30 minute stroll from my hotel and certainly no hardship on a day such as this. The most direct route goes past what, to me at least, appears to be the Justice Ministry, inhabiting an appropriately large and imposing edifice! However, it's clad in a rather cheerful yellow stone that's quite at odds with what otherwise, given its massive and imposing proportions, could be a wonderfully Kafka-esque sort of place.

I guess that's modern socialism for you - the kindlier, gentler, yellower sort of political system!
