The New Sweden

Out of the fog like warm yellow suns emerge neighboring houses until slowly, down the slope I see the next row and further on the next. Until finally the fog rolls back to reveal the lake and the other side of the water. Until everything is clear and what was minutes ago so overwhelmingly gray and lost is now blue sky.

Sweden after the election (where a minor "Tea Party" type party got a enough votes to seat candidates), causing many here to shake their heads in wonder--and fear.
