Swedish Winter
"On the morning of December 13th, well-before daybreak, a young girl rises from bed and dresses herself in white. Donning a crown of lighted candles, she sings about the darkness of winter and the light about to return. With this song, she awakens her family."
A different angle or view of winter.
In Nordic countries this time of the year can last for many weeks and even months where the days are dark and the air is cold. In the U.K, when it snows many people will try and take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the snow. That is not to say that the Nordic countries don't enjoy this time of the year but after a few weeks the novelty wears off.

"The dividing line between nature and culture is difficult to draw. When a bird builds a nest, we call it nature, but when a human puts up an apartment building, suddenly it’s culture. Some try to sidestep the problem by claiming that everything is nature, while others claim that nature is only a cultural construction. It’s tempting just to lump the two together and give up thinking about it."
Over the year i have slowly been documenting the changing visuals of a tree on Aberdeen as its leaves grow and later die. This video shows my own digital tree. I grows and dies just like a real tree. So is this nature or culture?
