The Raising of the Maypole, Mid Sommar, Karlstad, Sweden, 2011
Maypole decorated with wild flowers--symbol of summer and nature's benign side, at its peak!! Blue and Yellow ribbons represent the colors of Sweden. Even Graduation bouquets are sold in blue and yellow flowers. Blue flowers, are usually dyed.
Here, notice the green and color around. Compare them to old pics on the blog....hard to believe this place can be covered in snow and ice in less than five months!! One understands the 'romance' around summer in places like Sweden. In Fiji one wonders, what't the big deal..
Ah Relativity, thou name is so true!
