The Southwest Swedish Coast – Hamburgö

We spent a week at the end of our summer break on a small island off the southwest Swedish coast. Hamburgö is across a little sound from Hamburgsund, accessible by an electric cable ferry. The weather was quite cool and windy and many of the pictures, as well as depicting the characteristic wind- and water-eroded rock, reveal the moody cloudscapes we had most days. There were also a few lighthouses in view of our local beach and they feature in a number of the images.

    1. Actually, the weather was cool and very windy while we were there in August so the dips were fewer and shorter than they otherwise might have been. But, yes, with hot summer temps it would’ve been great!!
