Last weekend in the Stockholm archipelago!

For the first time since moving to Stockholm I visited the Stockholm archipelago with M this last weekend, it was a haven of serenity and beautiful nature. Very cold water though I prefer bathing around the Mediterranean. The island is called Ornö. This is a part of what the previous link says about the island;

Ornö is the largest island in the southern half of the Stockholm archipelago, situated just north of the island of Utö. It belongs to the municipality of Haninge. The island is approx. 15 km long and 3–4 km wide.
The primary connection with the mainland, a car ferry line, is operated by Ornö Sjötrafik. This is a community owned company. The ferry goes between Dalarö on the mainland and Hässelmara on north-western Ornö. There are some 300 people living on the island all year round. During summertime, the number of people on the island multiplies.

It looks downhill but it was quite flat, it is the crap photographer (me) that screwed it up.
Day 2, exploring the island.
Beautiful weather and nature!
