days are returning

There's a saying that on Three King's Day the day is longer than a stag can jump (as opposed to two weeks earlier). This is a metaphor you should try and work out for yourselves.

Today is already 27th of january, and the days are longer now than a stag may jump thrice. Which means that actually, for the first time in weeks (!!), it isn't anymore dark when I come home from work. This shot was taken after I raced home from work, jumped into my jogging trousers and ran to Schwechat river: just in time to see the sun set.

You're looking at approximately minus seven degrees Celsius, and by now, as I write this, I'm sure we're already down well below ten: it isn't precisely fun to jog in this temperature but today I was so overjoyed at seeing the sun again, and during weekdays, that this didn't matter at all.
