Fortress Butterfly, Pt. 2 - _TNY_0387

Outside the city of Härnösand is the small island of Hemsön, a place where the Swedish military had a fort inside the mountain and a coastal battery in case Russia decided to invade over the Baltic.

 

Today it is no longer active and they have guided tours through the facilities and while on one of those tours I noticed this nice Idas blue (Plebejus idas) on the gravel in the parking lot.

 

Since I had my camera with me I managed a few shots of it beforestepping down into the mountain.
