He, he, he, my hood is flapping up and down in the wind :-)
2002-07-07. There is a famous song in Sweden named: "S� skimrande var aldrig havet". The means: "The sea never has been so glistening".

I saw this view from the island. It was gorgeous!
2007-07-06. Here the sea was calm and smooth like a mirror. Taken from the boat.
2004-07-18. I went to the island named Ulv�n. Ulv�n is situated in the landscape �germanland. In former times they manufactured fermented herring on the island. Nowadays the island is a an island for tourists. It's a wonderful place.
2003-07-12. This inn on the island is named Sk�rg�rdshotellet. We had a rum with a view to the sea.

This picture was taken in 2002. Now they have build a new nice hotel there.
2003-07-13. The rooms were simple. There was no bathroom in any of the rooms. I did not like it. But there were no hotels on the island with bathroom in the rooms. We had a balcony that was an external gallery. So you could not sit there, but you could go out and take pictures.
