Happy New Year to Sweden's Police/ambulance/fire personnel

Here are some stats just about the Police activity:

more than 700 incidents that occurred within the space of four hours. Stockholm

Between 9pm on New Year’s Eve and 4:30am on New Year’s Day, the police had registered nearly 600 incidents…. Blekinge

More than 300 incidents had been reported between midnight and 5am- Gothenburg

All this was in addition to dealing with traffic problems caused by the difficult weather conditions.

 

As TheLocal says:

Sweden starts 2010 in typically messy fashion

.

confronted by immeasurable beauty………

 

it is only to sigh and surrender to the magnificence of it all

.

The first photo is via my Samsung SGH-J200 mobile phone and highlighted utilising a Photoshop plug-in called 'Conditioner' from Xero Graphics  (free trial and low cost) who also have a lot of free plugins.

The other two photographs are via our new Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR taken with no flash and no additional photographic lighting. This camera is quite remarkable and the more I'm using it the more impressed I get. It is my third Fuji – and I've never been disappointed yet.
