Come spring, people need to blow off a little winter depression with a fresh helping of booze. Lots and lots of booze.

     

    The Valborgsmassoafton festival takes place every 30th of April. It’s big Swedish hello to Spring (aka a day-long party followed by bonfires at night).

     

    Today’s SOOPic was shot in Uppsala at, oh, around 3pm. I’m willing to bet they didn’t get to this year’s bonfires.

     

    Welcome to the Spring, Sweden!
