While in Sweden recently I managed to snap a few sunset photos as it gets dark so early in the winter. This one, taken in the Main Square of Lund happened around 3 – 3:30pm. Having lived in the UK for some time now I’m getting used to the sun setting earlier than it does back home in Australia. When it’s going down closer to lunch time than dinner time […]

Visit Skane, Sweden
This past weekend I spent time in the province of Skane (or Skåne) visiting the towns of Ystad, Lund and Malmo which all call the southern area of Sweden home.

However after having travelled to a few stops now I found myself wishing I was back in bed and not heading for the bus stop, before 8am and in the rain. Still Sweden was calling my name and with just a hint of sun recorded on […]
