It's high saison and every weekend now I spend among lovers, who celebrate their connection in their own specific way. Elopements at the beach, summer parties underneath apple trees, BBQs in the garden. Families come together from the age of just a few weeks to far over 90 years old. Food & joy, drinks & talks. Spreading the love and dancing the night away.
We reached our camping ground an hour before sunset. A nice place near the shore on one of the greener little islands. We setup our tent and looked to the sky. A massive cloud front was coming from the Baltic Sea. We grabbed our food box with everything needed for a fast camping diner and watched how the sinking sun battled with the overtaking clouds. The last, golden rays of light hit the waves before the sky turned deeply dark. This would be a cosy night.
It was around 5am when I crawled out of the tent back then in summer 2014. The sun was already some minutes above the horizon and the birds were greeting the new day. I grabbed my camera and went to the beach. The shoreline was covered with little archipelagos, tiny, rocky islands sometimes connected with wooden bridges. The air was fresh and almost windless. And the surface of the sea turned into a mirror. I hopped from island to island, chased reflections in the water and looked out for hidden places in the sun to welcome the morning and to gain energy for the day. Over the last 3 years I've been to Sweden more often than to any other country. And this reminds me why.
