Haga Park

2 comments

There is a big park just north of Stockholm proper called "Haga Park" which used to be the Royal Family's summer residence but is now open to the public to enjoy. I'm behind in posting this one, the snow is long gone. But about a month ago we had a particularly warm day and I took a nice walk around Haga Park and the lake it is on, Brunnsviken. First thing I noticed was the Copper Tent which used to be stables but today houses a cafe.
Then it was on to enjoying the reflections and colors the lakes melting ice caused. I had a lot of fun being able to spend some time outdoors and play with my camera. Stockholm seems like a whole different city with the ice gone, there are parks and water everywhere that I didn't know about!
And finally, I was so excited to have found some signs of spring! Flowers blooming!
Stockholm is really coming alive. Not just in nature, the whole city is coming to life too. People are starting to go do things, there are events happening throughout the city, that sort of thing. It's really interesting to see how drastic the change is from Winter to Summer!
Love Always,
