(2016/85)
The Stockholm Archipelago fans out 80 km out from the city and is some 24,000 islands big. The nearest islands of Fjäderholmarna and beautiful fortress town of Vaxholm are less than an hour away by boat. The larger populated islands, for example; Sandhamn, Blidö and Utö have hotels, holiday homes, restaurants, marinas and offer loads of activities. Most of the islands are small and uninhabited and waiting for you to discover them, perhaps by boat, canoe or kayak.
Somehow, this shot of the Mingan Archipelago tour boat tied up at an island didn't turn out as sharply as I
would have liked. Nevertheless, I thought the scene was interesting.
Vaxholm (Waxholmsbolaget) is the capital of the Archipelago with military roots and a predominance of wooden houses, any other kind prevented until 1912. Stockholm archipelago buffering the Baltic Sea is a conglomeration of forests and intriguing architecture, from humble huts and cottages to palatial follies. There are around 24,000 islands, the Stockholm summer playground and lakes that are snow-laced during winter. Mikael Blomkvist had his cabin at the island of Sandham.
