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.

I am an amateur photography enthusiast living in Oslo, Norway. My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy capturing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street art as well.
