A trip to Landsort, an island in the southern Stockholm Archipelago today with the camera on a birdwatching trip saw me take these images around the main fishing village at Norrhamn. A very old fishing village still operates to a somewhat diminished capacity, wandered about taking shots of whatever caught my eye, though light rather dull today on a typical late autumn day in Sweden. The waters around the island still excellent for deep water Salmon and Seatrout, though the old days of Herring fleets have gone, just a few smaller boats now operate from the harbour on a subsitent scale....
