Central London

Nice and sunny monday today, with 91 bus down to the central parts of London.

London - Alexandra Palace, Crouch End, Hornsey

At least, here are some pictures from the region where I'm staying in London. Unfortunately there is a lack of representative landmarks.
So let us take Alexandra Palace at first, then go right down into Crouch End and it's farmer's market, and back to Hornsey.

Saint Lucy's Day


The 13th of december is a day in Sweden for celebrating Sankta Lucia. The youth is wearing white long dresses, some girls are Lucia, they are carrying a wreath with light on the head. Early in the morning they go singing and serving breakfast, for example Lussebullar, for their parents and friends. This celebration is known since 1780. About hundred years earlier, the day before Lucia was known as the shortest day of the year.
