Stockholm Santa Run

The (maybe traditional in the future) Stockholm Santa Claus run was organized this Sunday by – well, don’t know. The Facebook group claimed this was a first. The prompt to go and photograph the event came via meetup (www.meetup.com – I’m a member of the photography group in Stockholm). December is seldom splendid in Scandinavia, and this day was no exception. Just over zero C and an icy fine rain. A fair few Santas braved the conditions. Well, since they come from the north pole, this Stockholm Sunday must have felt positively tropical.
