Sheltered camp

Paddling along the Northern outer fringe of the Åland archipelago we always looked for a campsite that would offer shelter from the wind and potentially increasing swell.

The polished granite

Initially by glacier, then by waves of winter storms, the granite polished to an almost sensual level of smoothness.

Alfresco dining

No restaurant with fancy service can match the feeling that I get from preparing and enjoying a meal outside, with minimal utensils, away from civilization.

Åland sunsets

The light was so incredibly soft and the shadows long.
The summer of 2014 was an exceptionally warm one on the Baltic sea and now I was walking around barefoot close to the Arctic Circle.
The rock warmed by the sun while the air had a light chill: the sunset was approaching.
