Making the most of a bad situation

Sweden, norway

Winter in the north of Sweden can be difficult, with fewer than 5 hours of daylight for months on end. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a kind of depression that occurs as a result of a lack of daylight and affects many people in Europe's far north. To remedy this, one Swedish city erected lightboxes in bus stops to provide passengers waiting for transportation with a little additional lighting during the gloomy winter days.
