The Stockholm archipelago is the largest archipelago in Sweden, and the second-largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea. The archipelago extends from Stockholm roughly 60 kilometres (37 mi) to the east. Today the archipelago is a popular holiday destination with some 50,000 holiday cottages (owned mainly by Stockholmers). Boating is an extremely popular activity.

The town of Vaxholm was established in 1558, when King Gustav Vasa bought some farms from Count Per Brahe the Elder.
In the 1880s, it became a popular spa town, and many wooded summer houses were built by people from Stockholm.
It was not until 1912 that it allowed houses to be built from materials other than wood, giving the town a distinctive appearance.

Landsort is a Swedish village with a lighthouse on the island of Öja. It is the southernmost point of the Stockholm archipelago.
The island has had a pilot station from the 16th century onwards, first in the northern end of Öja, when ships generally used the inner waterway, but later in Landsort after larger ships began using the outer waterway. Pilot ships are still stationed in Landsort, but the pilots have moved inland and go by taxi to wherever they are needed.
During World War II and the Cold War, Landsort was a military base for the Swedish coastal artillery.
In the 1960s a pilot lookout tower was built, a building of c. 25 m, which contributes to the silhouette of the island. The pilot station was largely abandoned in the late 1980s, and the tower is now used as a public lookout tower and a youth hostel.

Landsort är en by med en fyr på ön Öja söder om Torö i Torö socken i Nynäshamns kommun och i Stockholms södra skärgård. Landsort förekommer även som namn på hela ön. Den är smal och långsträckt, cirka 700 meter bred och fem kilometer lång. Dess norra delar har täta skogsområden med buskmarker. I södra delen ligger Landsorts by.
Redan i Nordens första segelbeskrivning från 1200-talet finns platsen omnämnd som Landsort och Båken. Landsort var i begynnelsen ett säsongsfiskeläge som i skrift står omnämnt 1644. På Öja har huvuddelen av befolkningen annars inte direkt varit fiskare, utan lotsar, fyrtjänstemän, tullare och telegrafister. De flesta yrkesarbetande har haft statlig tjänst. Statliga verksamheter har kontinuerligt bedrivits på Öja alltsedan 1600-talet och den militära verksamheten är den sista.
En lotsplats låg redan under 1500-talet på öns norra del där Stockholms inomskärsled tog sin början. När allt större fartyg togs i bruk i slutet på 1800-talet omlades farleden, vilket medförde att lotsarnas bostäder och verksamhet flyttade ner till Landsort. Naturliga hamnbassänger finns på både östra och västra sidan, däremellan löper en sänka på vars sidor bebyggelsen ligger grupperad. Här finns äldre knuttimrade stugor och en mångfald av bryggor, uthus och bodar. Söder om bykärnan finns modernare bostäder. Ett enkelt träkapell som är skänkt av Helge Ax:son Johnson 1939 står norr om byn.
På Landsort byggdes i slutet på 1960-talet en lotsutkik, ett torn på cirka 25 meter, som tillsammans med fyren präglar Öjas silhuett. Lotsen lades ner i slutet på 1980-talet och lotsutkiken används numera som utsiktstorn och vandrarhem. Landsort används fortfarande som angöring för fartyg som behöver lots och därför finns en mindre station med lots på ön.

The central area of Sandhamn is a mixture of traditional log houses and summer villas from the start of the 20th century.
Mikael Blomkvist, a central character in the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson has a cabin in Sandhamn. In the books comprising the Millennium Trilogy, he uses the cabin as a place to relax and write.

Many Swedes have cabins and many of those cabins are in the beuatiful Stockholm archipelago. Most of the cabins are primitiave: no indoor bathrooms. Don't don't have running water. Most don't have heat. However, they're out in nature and provide a quiet place to commune with nature (and some other vacationing Swedes).
There seems to be very few days in a year when I see clouds in a blue sky just like this. That's why I like this shot very much. It will serve as a solace for the rest of the year.
This has to be my favorite spot in the Stockholm archipelago (25,000 islands and all). Four years ago, when I first moved to Stockholm, I took this picture. Now I have taken this one, without realizing it was the same spot (Norrsund).
With this picture I say goodbye... I'm heading back to the island of Gräskö in a few hours. See you next week. Have a good one!

Taking a break from posting LEGO builds to upload old travel photos over the next few days. I've been going back through my picture folders lately, and finding a few more gems to share.
These were all taken around Stockholm and the Archipelago in 2015.

Odd back-story to this. Cut my finger this morning and put a drop of iodine on the cut, then blotted it with a tissue. Intrigued by the repeated brown print on tissue, went and scanned it, loaded into PSE and just fiddled and free-associated, until 15 minutes later ended up with this map of an imaginary archipelago...
The Stockholm archipelago is the largest archipelago in Sweden, and the second-largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea. The archipelago extends from Stockholm roughly 60 kilometres (37 mi) to the east. Today the archipelago is a popular holiday destination with some 50,000 holiday cottages (owned mainly by Stockholmers). Boating is an extremely popular activity.

Seen on the trip from Riga (Latvia) to Stockholm.
The Stockholm archipelago is the largest archipelago in Sweden, and the second-largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea (the largest being across the Baltic in Finland).
Today the archipelago is a popular holiday destination with some 50,000 holiday cottages (owned mainly by Stockholmers). Visiting the larger islands in the archipelago is easy all year round, but during winter period the routes depend on the ice conditions. Several companies have regular routes.
