snow, silent, a sign board and frederiksborg slot

After getting off a train at Hillerød station, at first I saw a small station having white snow on its roof. It was in the morning on Sunday, at the middle of winter, and the sky in here was cloudy gray as usual, and a small bird flying enough high near the ceiling of the gray looked like a tiny black dot.
On the way to the bus stop, I had to take care of my steps on the powder snow, which had hardly been frozen tightly even under the freezing point. Its color was kind of a mixture of white and light brown.The bus for the famous Frederiksbourg palace had yet to come there, so I had to wait for a while. A middle-age woman and I were the only potential passengers for the bus at the time. On Sunday, few merchandises were open even in Copenhagen for not only tourists, but also even residents. So, under freezing point and with few shops open on street, I saw few people walking around the stop. Nicely silent and powder snow.


Taking a bus that would take only less than 10 min ride to the Palace, I found a relatively big shopping mall, which had a big sign board of "H&M", Hennes and Mauritz, one of tenants of that mall. Curiously enough, when I went back to my memoir of Frederiksbourg slot, at first, I happened to encounter the red sign of these two words that I saw at the time through the bus window, without thinking any, but maybe looking for a hot coffee somewhere around there or my destination, the palace.


Here was Frederiksborg slot, a beautiful palace in winter for me.
