Spring in Uppsala

It is rather ironic that as I write this today (May 1, 2014) it is a chilly 7 degrees C outside and there are still patches of snow (yes, SNOW) in the shade. The sun is shining now but earlier today it was quite gloomy and really very cold, especially for the first of May. But the winter of 2013/2014 was very mild with little snow and no really long stretches of cold temperatures. A very welcome change from last year. Here are some photos that capture spring in Uppsala - let's hope it returns in the next couple of weeks.

Beautiful blooming trees in the courtyard of a building in the centre of town

The bridge over the river - the orange and yellow building in the background is Västgöta nation (Uppsala's oldest, founded in 1639)

More blossoms
