Swedish Yacht Harbor

Here is the view outside the SAP office in Stockholm. The ice is about 30 to 40 cm thick, and the path you see through the snow atop the ice is used for long distance ice skating races. You might wonder why the boats are in clear water and not locked in ice. Apparently those boats belong to the owners of the restaurant to the left and they use sophisticated bubbling systems to prevent any ice from forming around their boats. I'm glad we don't have to worry about such issues in SF!
