Lovely dinner

On tour to the northern territories of Gotland we finally got hungry and found a nice restaurant in Lickershamn. A small harbour. My wife chosed a fish soup while I had a delicious lamb.

Roma monastery

As a monument over Christianity that didn't correspond to human needs stand the monastery of Roma as a good example. When the Reformation swept over Sweden the old catholic places were abandoned and fell into an eternal sleep. Nowadays used only for concerts and theatres.

Fishermens camp

We are on vacation. Here are some pictures from an old fishermens camp at Fårö, Gotland.
A harsh and windswept landscape.

Planting a djungle

Back from Moscow my wife was determined to turn our flat and balcony into a djungle. The first place visited did not support her aim enough so we went to another at the Bergianska garden. As a good husband I support my wifes interest, of course, while looking for good pictures =) I was also given a quest. To find some herbs for the balcony. The one I was looking for was inside the store/greenhouse. The only difference between a greenhouse and a sauna is that you are naked in the latter. I wished I was. The heat and humidity was overwhelming.





The yellow house turned to white due to the yellow filter.


Happy wife with flowers in both hands.

World war and the fiftyeleventh reich

My brother playing the strategy game Risk with his sons. A war game about world dominion while waiting for lunch. Peaceful, isn't it?

GRADUATION !!

It hasn't been raining for thirty years at the graduation in Åmål, as long as the Principal was alive. Now he is dead and the rain came. In Sweden the graduation is called Studenten and is the end of some years of education at a Gymnasium. Approximately compared to college in the US.


The release


Roaring the traditional Student song. Far from singing is my judgement.


Congratulators


The celebrity himself. Hampus, my brothers son, fondly smiling. It is over for the summer.
Karlstad University next, perhaps. Some more years to go for an exam in civil engineering.


Family congratulants


Before the party. Tables nicely done. You never resign from a party hungry at my brothers place.
