2011-02-09. I met the snow dragon by the river.
2011-02-02.But first back to this date. Me on the escalator in the new railroad station.
2011-02-02. Me standing by the new fast train. But I should not take the train myself.
2011-02-02.  Ove in his black hooded jacket should take the train to Örnsköldsvik, only over the evening.
2011-02-02. I should wave to Ove and go home again.
2011-02-02. There are roofs and heaters in the platform so it will not be slippery. But on the railroad there is snow and they need plowing engines so the train can go.
2011-02-02. In the distance Ove on the platform.
2011-02-02. Taken from the other side of the station. It's getting dusk.
2011-02-02. Ove and the train with shining lights.
2011-02-02. Ove getting on the train.
2011-02-02. The train is going and I waved to Ove.

2011-02-02. I saw the train was disappearing with the red  rear lights.

I was standing on the empty station, longing to make a day trip in the train. But it's hilly in Örnsköldsvik and difficult for me to walk in the snow an ice. I must wait until the spring.
2011-02-03. 2011-02-03. I went to the Glass House and met a co-worker who was talking about art therapy. Colourful paint in the Glass House.
2011-02-03. After that one of the art therapists put on an overhead projector. And was drawing the silhouette of me and another woman behind me.

That's why you see 2 faces. They painted the faces. The brown haired woman has a light skin while Rödluvan's skin is more pink-beige.

It was real fun for me to have her picture hanging in the Glass House.

A rainbow in winter. This is not common. In winter the rainbow looks like this.
2011-02-04. I called it for "Snow bow". And could found this word on the net too. It can happen you see the whole snow bow, I saw  different picctures of the snow bow the web. It most looks like a kind of line like on this picture.
