Sun in the city and outside it

Yesterday was the first real day of spring in Gothenburg. So much sun that my eyes, used to the grey and cloudy days of Lund, were in shock. After the party, we took a boat to one of the many islands outside the city and simply enjoyed a walk by the seaside. Amazing what a little sun can do for one's morale! Now, back in the colorless Lund, the contrast with the beautiful yesterday is even more striking.

Downtown Gothenburg, with its typical church spire and blue tram

Draken, or the Dragon, another landmark
The boats are part of the local public transport network, so to travel 45 minutes into the archipelago costs as much as any bus or tram ride in the city.
Sunny day on the beach (well, it was not all that warm, but still...)
Cute local kid, transported in the local fashion (how many uses for a beer case?)
So much sun, I was completely blinded
