It was a very gray, drizzly day here in Helsingborg, and I decided to shoot mostly in black and white. I’m really pleased with how most of the pictures came out. The Dunker Culture Centre was impressive. It's a place where people of any age can take classes in a wide variety of the arts - both applied and performance. We had dinner at a nice little Italian restaurant that served honest to goodness Italian fare, followed by a nice walk in the cool evening drizzle and a stop at Pistachia for homemade ice cream. I could make a killing if I could open one of these back in the states. It’s a snackers delight with a wide variety of nuts, candies, cakes, cookies, drinks and of course - ice cream among splashy hues of pistachio green throughout the cafe.
Last time I was in Sweden most families were on holiday and there weren't many kids out and about. Being here while school is in session has seriously made me reconsider my stance on having children. If I thought that he or she would be an adorable, Swedish speaking toe head without a care in the world, I’d do it in an instant. Of course, I’d want to raise him or her here where they could run around without worrying too much - even in the larger cities we’ve been in. It’s amazing how Swedes seem to look after their own. It’s as if they take responsibility as a whole for the upbringing of their youth. It really does take a village - and it seems to be working a whole lot better than whatever we are (or aren’t) doing in the states.
