Skywatch #86


Uppsala, Sweden, originally uploaded by duopastorale.

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to visit Uppsala in Sweden. Along with temperatures of up to -13 degrees there were beautiful blue skies and frost laden trees. The coloured buildings are so attractive to a grey Londoner! Happy skywatching :)

The contrast in colors between the yellow buildings and the blue sky are wonderful. The red roofs just top it off nicely.
Beautiful photo, Mike

The colours are so vivid, both the buildings and the sky! I wonder why they can have colourful buildings, and we cannot?

Sweden does colourful buildings so well. And add in the blue sky - perfection (even at -13!)
