Hats to Chowes for this one.

A dose of Spring 2008

3 March 2008 in Finland, Winter, cold, dark, spring, warm | No comments

It’s amazing how the weather can change a day… the nice dose of spring was well welcomed.

I can only wonder how the people in northern Finland are gearing up for spring. I think that it is great just to come out of the freezing cold, but to be coming out of months of darkness and freezing cold… well that must really be exciting and mood changing.

I can only relate to them from the times I have gotten up at 4:30am for work and finished the day at 10PM. Those were long days, but the worst part by far was going to work in darkness and coming home in darkness. Never seeing the daylight screwed with me. 
I love to travel, but I think I’d have a hard time actually ‘living’ in a country that the sun does not rise in the winter. In contrast, I’m sure they welcome the darkness in the winter since the sun doesn’t really set in the summer.
