Closing down here too

Lothiane at Oslo Daily Photo has an atmospheric post about a little snack kiosk, closed for the winter. I passed the ice cream kiosk in Princes Street Gardens, in the centre of town, and saw that it had closed too. Behind it, the Scottish flag flies in the westerly gale. Perhaps it's an instinctive seasonal thing, like the migration of birds. All across Europe, starting in the North, the snack bars and ice cream kiosks are closing for the winter.
