About :
The darkest day of the year in Stockholm shrinks to just six hours of daylight. The long darkness, which also characterizes the many islands off Stockholm, the archipelago, for long months, makes people inventive. They decorate streets and windows with light, an artist creates light sculptures and many schools celebrate the Lucia Festival of Lights. Stockholm and its archipelago are world famous, and in summer thousands of tourists spend their holidays on the small islands. In winter it is mostly quiet here - but supplies of all essentials are still guaranteed: Captain Niclas Jornée travels daily on the ferry "MS Queen" from the mainland to the archipelago and back. He and his team ensure supplies, from even the smallest island shop to catering companies. This is the only way his three founders can live and work on their home island all year round. Meanwhile, in Stockholm, the choir of the Adolf Fredriks Music School is preparing for its Lucia concert in the Hedwig Eleonora Church. This time, 14-year-old Elsa was chosen from the 120 choir students to portray Lucia. She is allowed to ceremoniously wear the crown of lights decorated with burning candles on her head - an honor for the chosen one. Light artist Johan Ferner Ström is also preparing for the cold, dark season - together with his colleague Tor Svae, he will open a radiant children's playground that they designed together. And they already have a commission for new light sculptures in the form of giant acorns waiting for them. Even if snow and ice have become rarer, the cold season and its short days with little light are definitely celebrated creatively and atmospherically by the Swedes.
