scanian paradise

Warning! All pictures are stolen - didn't have the time to upload my own - yet...

Since my days here in Sweden are numbered, I took the opportunity to explore more of the country this weekend. Scania can be so heartachingly beautiful!
The people may be a bit reserved, but nature definitely isn't - at least this time of the year - and shows off in its most provocant colour combinations: bright blue sky, painfully yellow rapeseed fields, imbedded in fresh greenery, framed by the dark blue Baltic Sea...

Häckeberga castle

Some idyllic lakes and castles on the way...

Ales stenar

Ancient stone monuments...

Stenshuvud National Park
... and a multitude of national parks.
Stenshuvud definetely is my favourite. The forest there seems to have been cut and pasted from a children's fairy tale book.

Not to mention the breathtaking atmosphere on top of the stonehead: the shoreline can be seen for several kilometres (nothing but fine white sand and according soundscape), there is wind, and wild birds, and peace.

Yep.

I hope Greece can keep up with that ;)
