Winter sun



With the sun low in the sky during much of the winter (at least here in Oslo) one sometimes experiences almost blinding dazzledness (–or dazzling blindness?) when the shafts of sunlight sweep down city streets. Here the sun catches the otherwise humdrum wooden boardings around a building under renovation, creating a wonderful golden wall that has a kind of magic quality to it. On an cold day like the one the picture was taken, this glow gives a kind of warmth –at least inside; and walking along the boarding becomes an exalted experience!
