The winter is here, which means that I won't travel too far due to early sunset. Today's trip goes to Uppland.
Sculpture "Bullen" by Bitte Jonason Åkerlund seen on my way to the station
Stockholm C is ready for Christmas
Snälltåget to Malmö
My train is an X40 to Gävle
Gävle C
Gävle is also prepared for Christmas
I have time before my next train, so I'm taking a walk in the old town of Gävle
Traditional Gävle goat
This year the goat is protected by 24h security to prevent it from being burnt

My next stop is Älvkarleby

On my way from the station I'm passing through Laxön area
