This is a picture taken from my window my very first night here, immediately following the snow that wrecked havoc on the city. Accumulation totaled about 1/4 to a 1/2 an inch, but without proper equipment they effectively had to shut everything down. I loved seeing makeshift signs in all the shops about 'inclement' weather, and several people even apologized to me about the state of things. I found it quite peaceful.
Walking around I have noticed that there are cranes and construction projects just about everywhere, which I think is rather interesting because of the economy back home. It seems like there is always some improvement or new building going on.
In the background you will notice the cone-shaped 'Gherkin' building.
maybe one reasons there is so much construction is to prepare for the 2012 olympics... never to early to start?
