Breakfast at the beach..

..early Sunday morning. Still rather cold at the deserted bay of Ire (Ireviken) in northern Gotland.

But hot coffee and a warm baguette with chevre cheese helps against the cold wind from the north..
As well as the beauty of it all..

..to experience a beach running for miles that you have all to yourself this time of year.
And especially this time of the morning!

Ireån - the Ire creek - is full of spawning salmons this thime of year. We did not discover any this time though..
The creek´estuary debouching into the Baltic..

Small downy flowers growing directly on the beach..
