Rödluvan snow 18, blue hour to the shop, 2003

	Rödluvan in the snow Part 18. The Blue hour, a walk to the shop January 2003


In twilight and in down the snow is coloured in soft blue. Somebody told me that you can call this "The Blue Hour". I think it's a good name for this kind of light. The woods looks beautiful in the blue hour.

Here I'm standing in the woods by work.

The woods were gorgeous.

I went by kick sleigh to the grocery shop. This is in the park near our home.

I passed the kindergarten. It looked like a house in a fairy tale.

Winter wonderland.

The new snow absorbed all noise. It was so silent and peaceful in the woods.

Also the street there we live was like a fairy tale land.

This house looks like a winter vacation house in the mountains. But it's in our street. You don't need to travel far away. You can find the beauty around the corner of you own house!

I bought soft drink and food in the shop. The kick sleigh is a good vehicle to carry heavy things. There was one boot standing on the ground. I did not know where it came from. Somebody must have lost it. Strange. It's impossible to go home in only one boot in the cold snow.

I met a woman in the woods. She also had a red coat with a red hood. Now I had friend on the way. We both walked home while talking about the wonderful things we have seen in nature on this wonderful winter day.

When I awoke at Epiphany at January 6, the whole yard was changes into a fairy tale land. Also this time the snow was coloured in blue. It was "The blue hour" again.

The lamps at the balcony were almost snowed over.

I went out with the kick sleigh. The bike house looked like a winter vacation cottage.

Also the allotments looked like a fairy tale land. In summer there were wonderful flowers, but now everything was snowed over and cold.

I went through the park again with the kick sleigh.

I passed the backside of the kindergarten. These 2 trees are bird cherry and has wonderful white scenting flowers in summer. But now they were covered with snow. Still a fairy tale land. Maybe there lives a gnome in the little house.

I did not meet any people that morning. It was so early in the morning she was out.

I enjoyed the silence.

It was snowing. My hood became white.

I could take home all the heavy stuff on the kick sleigh. It still was snowing and it was gorgeous in the park.

It was beautiful with the snow on the trees.

Now I passed the other side of the kindergarten. The children sometimes make a snowman there.

This must be the place there Santa lives.

I went to the other park again there the big "Play-ground-dragon lives. Now some children were playing there. I heard their happy laughter.

The skating rink is behind these pines. Today it was snowed over. But they use to plough it.

I passed the backside of the kindergarten again.

Now I was on the yard. Yesterday. It was blowing and the wind had tipped over the bikes.

Bike art ! :-)

The sun goes down early this time of the year. You can see a little sunlight on the top of the pines.

The top of the pines became pink in the sunset.

Now it was dark. The balcony lamps brightened up in the darkness.

The Christmas tree on the yard was beautiful. This picture is taken in the year 2005 when this tree still was alive.
