At it´s best.

 

Apart from the plane, that is.

...an accident waiting to happen.

After leaving home for our vacay, and arriving to the archipelago, my wife said: "Look at me, I look like Morticia Addams. So pale!"

 

I said: "You work indoors, I don´t

Of course you are pale, it´s a part of your Finnish heritage.

I´ll take a photo now, and another at the end of the vacation to see the difference. Maybe you´ll look like me by then."

 

She looked at me, wearily.

Said: "Not sure I want to be as tanned as you. During summer, you look like a 16th century, poor peasant, working in the fields all day."

 

(That comment made me think of a career as a laidback farmer, strolling around all day in a corn field or something.)

   

In vacay mode.

 

I envy her.

One of very few talking a walk in the early afternoon.

...including more of the slopes, the bike paths and the lake, looking east, on July 25, 2023, just after 2 pm.

The beachgoers becomes streetwalkers.

TBT: Åre, Jamtlann, Sweden on July 24, 2023 at 9:39 pm.

 

View from Liengården.

...our way.

 

The now almost traditional one.

 

As my wife said: "why don't we live here, with the wonderful storms and heavy rains??"

 

I nodded and asked myself.

🌞 Soaking up the sun and good vibes at San Lorenzo Beach near Vieste! 🌊 Nothing beats the feeling of salty air and sandy toes. Life’s better at the beach! 🌴☀️ #BeachBabe #SanLorenzoBeach #ViesteVibes #SunKissed #SummerFun #BeachLife #OceanLover #TravelDiaries #VacayMode

Then the socorristas arrange a sunshade for people who want to dip their toes, but don't want to get fried.

 

Brilliant!

Well, and a couple of twolegged critters who appreciate the silence and the vanishing light.

One of the small islets in the archipelago of Oskarshamn, on the Swedish east coast.

Swedish word of the day: skyfall.

 

Cloudburst or perhaps downpour in English.

 

Even if "downpour" sounds way too weak for this weather.

 

Very nice and cozy to be inside and watch and listen to it though.

 

However, I had an "errand" out in this and thought: "why even wear clothes in this weather? Might as well go out naked and bring a soap. Two for the price of one, so to speak."

Basically the far western end of Los Locos beach, but...

Same beach though, and almost the same spot.

 

Made our own dinner tonight, instead of eating out.

We're so fed up with the same menus almost everywhere: pizza, kebap, burgers and fries. More fries, more burgers.

...for the first time in weeks.

Checking in to one of our favourite hotels, and all of a sudden the storm is gone and the sun is shining partly...?

Rocks and water basically.

 

Less people, more wind.

Met an old friendo in the lobby.

Nice guy indeed, but a bit quiet nowadays.
