When I think about how many people that have never seen such beauty, I feel so sorry for them. I just love snow, and even more here in Brittain, where it is not as common. Back home in Sweden, we usually get snow for months, so I can sometimes take it's splendour for granted. But today I witnessed my first snowfall in Bristol. What a wonderful day!
The university was closed from noon, due to the snow – something I thought I would never experience; that never happens in Sweden: only the busses and train services are paralysed – so there was but one thing to do: massive snowball fight!!
And the best part was when we ganged up to pick a fight with another group of students, whom we had never seen before (well, I recognised one of them a bit later), and it climaxed in an epic snowball fight at the battlements of a small tower. We had so much fun, and now I am so exhausted... I need to rest now, in case a new battle starts in our resident area.
Here are some photos I took during the day. Unfortunately, I did not bring my camera to the fight site (for safety reasons), so I could not capture the ingenuity of the students there: some had constructed a snowball catapult, others had all sorts of genius platforms to ride down the hill. Snow not only brings out the child in us, but our creativity just as much!
This was taken in the morning, while the sun was still down. The weird light distorted the colours, but it looks really nice this too!
