Early morning in the archipelago..

Sandhamn, Monday morning. The Grönskär lighthouse in a distance.

I left Gotland for a while to visit my childhood island of Sandhamn in the Stockholm archipelago and to see old friends I hadn´t seen for a long time. It has now turned summer for real and the sea is smooth and the air filled with sounds from the sea birds hollering eagerly if you tread somewhere near their nests..These are the waters where I learnt how to swim a long, long time ago. As beautiful as ever..
Sandhamn harbour at lunchtime. The majority of the weekend yachts and visitors have left. And the natives enjoy the beautiful island all to themselves..
