Umeå
After 10 months studying in the city, last year, I finally decided to go back for a week holiday.
Winter was no so winter-ish, but the people and the place were as nice as ever.
It really is one of the most pleasant place to be, and I'll make sure to go and enjoy it some more asap.
Welcome to Stockholm Skavsta.
We call it Stockholm, but really you're a hundred kms away from it!

Lindelhallen, on the university campus.
A great place for fika and pretending to work.

Metal scales by the river.
I'm no Games of Throne fan, but that's how I'd imagine the throne.

Swing in a box.
Inception style.

Earth pinch.
I don't really know what the artist behind it thought of, but to me it feels like the whole town is hanging at this very location.

Parked.

Complex.
This lamp in the Art Campus simply captivates me.

Houses by the river.

The following pictures are from the Winter Day.
One could try out different sports or simply enjoy the view.

The race's winners. Local news are all over it. ;)
One things that I like about human-sized places is the calibre of the events. The atmosphere is still fun but with less stress floating around.

Ålidhem, or the students' den, here in Umeå. :)

This picture is a good representation of the kind of weather I had during the week.
Truly a shame when one knows there are northern lights above them
(We had great solar winds activity...)

All good things must come to and end...
