Rödluvan and the light festival
2008 and 2006
 
Me in the snow standing in the light of a floodlight by work. I  went to town to visit the light festival. But that day there was no snow yet.
2008. These polar bear lamps belong to an electric outfitter's shop. you can buy then to have in the garden.
2008. This polar bear is art and belongs to the light festival. But then the lamp inside the bear was not on yet. Picture taken with the flash.
2008. The same bear taken without the flash.
2008. I went to the market place. A polar bear was rushing to me.
2008. But this bear was made of plastic and was on wheels.
2008. The bear was there for making advertising about our town.
2008. He was real cute.
