It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
Thoreau

Spring in Sweden: Easter on the way

Spring in Sweden

Can you help but to stop?
Is it luck that the camera was in my bag?
No, no, no. It was my plan,
from the very beginning
to find such beauty
on the streets of Stockholm
and to stop for a moment, to enjoy this and take it in.
