This is my favourite photo from my trip to Sweden. Visiting the islands was great idea.

Stora Amundön nature reserve on the Swedish West Coast.

There are horses and sheep left to graze on the island in the summer.
Swedish West Coast

Down by the water on a sunny day in May. The pink flowers are sea thrift (Armeria maritima).

Sat on the rocks, looking out over the blue sea, glittering in the sun. This was the first time this year, that the stone actually had warmed up enough to make it pleasant to remain seated. Without  the jacket on... And I was just one, out of many, that had the same bright idea this day!
Mute swans are common here on the Swedish West Coast.

These last days there have been unusually many. On this occasion a flock of swans had stopped close to land, and some of them stood here calmly "posing" on rocks in the water - unaware of the odd person sneaking up behind the bushes.... ;)

Only hotel on Donsö-bit like a hostel.
Restaurant was good. We ate there twice and at Popsicle Cafe once. They are the only two restaurants in town. Both are very friendly and the food is okay. The hotel felt a bit like a hostel. The front desk is not always staffed, and they only cleaned our room once in the four days that we were there. ...
