A winning picture..

..I shot in Sandhamn last summer! It just won a contest as a cover picture to the yearbook of the "Friends of Sandhamn" which are published annually.

The photo displays a pieceful view of the Sandhamn harbour in July with my favourite old steamer "Norrskär" by the main jetty in the background  when the lime trees cast its cooling shadow over mid-summer tourists resting on a village bench. The sailing boats as back drop and the last islands can be spotted before the "Big Baltic" totally takes over. There will be very few skerries after Sandhamn - only the big sea all the way to Estonia, Finland Russia..

Sandhamn is really the last outpost of the Stockholm archipelago.
