Archipelago localizes the divergent work of The Kent Bellows Studio mentors and exerts the power of the group through individual voices. Each exhibiting mentor dedicates themselves to the development of young artists while also seeking achievement in their own work. The exhibition features a broad range of media and methods, and reveals a glimpse into the creative momentum of The Kent Bellows Studio mentor community.

Wild chives is rather common, growing wild in the Stockholm archipelago, typically on patches of earth on the bare rock, such as here on Svenska Högarna.
Stockholm archipelago, Sweden
Even in the cities there is never far to Sweden's main asset: unspoilt nature. In Göteborg there are several nature reserves even within the local transportation network. In the case of Vrångö that includes a scenic 45 minutes long boatride through the south archipelago to get there.
You should really watch this Large On Black since that brings out a lot more detail. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format.

Edited Landsat 8 image of the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago in the Arctic Sea off of Russia's Siberian coast.
Image source: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/92827/severnaya-zemlya-a...
Original caption: The Severnaya Zemlya archipelago in the Russian high Arctic spans 37,000 square kilometers—about the same area as the U.S. state of Indiana. Despite its size and proximity to the Siberian mainland, the archipelago went unnoticed and unmapped until its discovery by an ocean expedition in 1913.
Today, the four large islands would be hard to miss in satellite imagery. These images show part of the island group on August 9, 2018, as observed by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. In the wide view (top) you can see the southern tip of Komsomolets Island, the largest in the archipelago; the eastern side of Pioneer Island; and the northwest side of October Revolution Island.
You won’t find any trees growing here. This is Arctic tundra, and cold, dry conditions prevail throughout the year. The average daily temperature in August, when this image was acquired, is 0 degrees C (32°F). Such conditions are quite favorable for year-round ice, which covers about half of the archipelago.
The wide view (second image) shows ice caps dotting the surface. The Academy of Sciences Ice Cap is the archipelago’s largest at 5,575 square kilometers (2,152 square miles). Some of the edges of the ice rest on land and others stretch over seawater. Ice loss occurs from surface melting and from the shedding of icebergs. Thin, broken sea ice chokes the water in the straits.
The top image shows a detailed view of the Albanov Ice Cap on October Revolution Island. Research has shown that like most ice caps in this area, Albanov has steepened. That is, accumulations have made the cap thicker in the middle, at the same time that the cap’s edges are retreating. Many of the ice caps, including Albanov, contain snow and ice that has melted and refroze, visible as the blue areas ringing the ice caps.
