Lighthouse Bissen at Bisse Rännan a calm summer evening. This is the south entrance to Sweden’s first marine nature preserve, Kosterhavets Nationalpark. The preserve meets up with Ytre Hvaler on the Norwegian side at the north end. The 250 meter deep fjord is the home of one of only two coral reefs in Sweden. The low salt content in the water from the Baltic meets the high salt content water from the Atlantic, powered by the Golf Stream, creating rich living conditions under the water.

To navigate is necessary, ha de Gött!

Lighthouse

Lighthouse

One of my favorite motives, the Väcker lighthouse. This time from the sea. Even with the calm weather there was waves. Not easy to take photos from a small boat.

Red, Green and Blue, ha de Gött!

Sea Freight

Sea Freight

Late night sea traffic around Ramskär lighthouse. The 16 meter high lighthouse was built in 1917 with great difficulty on the naked black cliff. Situated 10 kilometer west of Havstenssund. The name Ramskär comes from the black rock. Ramn is ancient Nordic for raven. Hence raven black skerry.

See the light, be the light. Ha de Gött!

Lizard

Lizard

After some research I’ve concluded that this is a Viviparous lizard (Zootoca vivipara) also known as common lizard, in Swedish Skogsödla. There are only three species of lizards in Sweden and one of them has no legs. The common lizard can be up to 18 centimeters long. It lives in woodland with wet micro climate.

Do let me know if I got the species wrong, ha de Gött!

Smooth rock

Smooth rock

Sun kissed red granite rock, smooth and warm in the early summer evening.

Waves softly splashing their eternal soft lullaby, only broken by a jealous seagull scream.

Wind hushes your turmoil of thoughts to gentle stillness like a mothers soft humming.

Yes, it’s true, best things in life are free. Ha de Gött!
