Is it dawn or dusk? Well, probably both. Sun is back and quickly rising now. The equinox is already on March 20 this year, and another nine weeks later, the midnight sun will shine for two months. It is a strange part of the world. Mentalwise, I managed better this year during the dark period. One might get used to it.

The picture above was taken last year from the terrace of the new Dental School. This year, there is a lot more snow and mainly overcast. Winter has a strong and grim grip on the country. On the picture below (yesterday, 10 am) you may see that, on top of the mountains (about 1000 meters above sea level) the sun is still shining. The center of the picture is occupied by the University Hospital, the northernmost, of course.
