Visby on a sunny afternoon..

 ..in the end of September. The tourist season is over. There is still a feeling of the sun drenched warmth of summer in the cobblestoned, peaceful streets.
The Yellow House Café is a favourite place with a small walled garden with lavendel plants and fig trees, home baked bread and pastries and a warm and cheerful staff.

The garden of the Yellow Café. Madeleine, Heléne och Nena can be spotted at the table in the back munching Gotland pastries.

The sign on this pretty door´mail box reads in Swedish:
"No ads or scrap mail - preferably loveletters only!"

 

 

The famous roses of  Visby are everywhere..

 

  The roses of Visby´s Botanical Gardens are magnificient this time of year.

Below: The marvellous "Falu Rödfärg" traditional paint..

Afternoon light and an old house painted in the most common type of exterior paint in Sweden. It is inexpensive, easy to apply, organic and has a great preservative effect! And it is pretty and even smells good of the linseed oil and soft soap mixture..
