The flight here was long, first to London then our change to Stockholm.  Everyone's sleep is off a few hours, and I suspect we will just be adjusting as it's time to move East to our next location.  Fortunately, Istanbul is only one time zone away so we should adjust more quickly to that change, but that's several days away.

It's raining here which is good news.  It's not snowing.  Today we are checking all our equipment to make sure it made it safely and that all is working.  While Richard and I do that, there is a casting session.  Tomorrow we scout locations here, then fly 2.5 hours north to our first location.  We expect to have snow there.  We will shoot in the 3.5 hours of daylight, then return to Stockholm where we will shoot the following day.  The days are short and there is no time to waste.  As we move East, we will also move south, so our days will grow longer which will ease some of the pressure.

I will try to post some photos soon, though I haven't had the time to do so yet.

The city is beautiful.  We are staying near the old center of the city where there is interesting architecture.  Our hotel is fine, though nothing special - a typical large chain, much the same as any other hotel.  Has no character.  It would be more interesting to stay in an older hotel with more of the local flavor.  We are here because the client wanted the familiarity that this modern hotel chain offers.

Last night for dinner we had a sampler of many ways herring is prepared; all were delicious.  Time to run for now - to return to my prep.  First camera is fine and time to test the second.
