Yes it's Christmas

Christmas time in Göteborg was very special. There is an overwhelming focus on fine cakes and warm wine.

The streets maybe ice cold but many still head for the 'Haga markets'.

The Christmas assortment:

From cheese to glögg...

...meat balls to Christmas beer...

Everything during Christmas ends up with the 'Jul' prefix to state that it is special Christmas food.

Walking on water

The winter freezes the fresh water thick. The photo above left is taken from the frozen lake looking into a boat shed. The water inside is unfrozen.

The lake becomes a desert of snow

At night, hallowing sounds can be heard from the ice as it shifts back and forth. It kind of like a low pitch whooping noise. You can often feel the ice tremble beneath you.
