Day 201 : Illuminations, not in Christmas season

We are accustomed to seeing illuminations in Christmas season.
Usually after that, we don't see them in town, really...

It's January, and there are still beautiful illuminations in town. This is something very unusual to me...

But, it should be usual in this Nordic city where you have just 6 hours of daylight, even with dismal weather , to light up the long-dark hours, probably.

It looks very fantastic, actually.

Word of the day
dismal : 陰鬱な

Quote of the day
“Better to illuminate than merely to shine to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.”
― Thomas Aquinas
