Fourteen scenes from Nynäshamn
The month of May is finally here. If you live in Sweden, this is most likely your favorite time of the year. We call it sköna maj. May the beautiful. The light is back. The days are so much longer. It is warm again after the cold Winter. And most importantly, everything is getting green again. Although this time around, everything feel a bit delayed. Anywho, I took my first bike ride of the year to Nynäshamn, a port city on Södertörn. I visited three beaches. Met two women who asked me if I was going for a swim, I was not! But I sat down and ate my lunch next to them at Nickstabadet. I then continued to Lövholmen and the rocky beach at Knappelskär, before riding back into the city center along the photogenic ring road known as Strandvägen. It was built for the 1912 Olympic Games btw. I made another stop at Fagerviken that has nice views toward the island of Trehörningen. My final visit was the guest harbor, where bikers and ice cream eaters were enjoying the Summer temperatures. The restaurants were packed with people, I took a stroll looking at some of the visiting ships.

Cherry Blossom
My second visit to the Cherry Blossom at The King's garden in Stockholm this Spring. I am a bit addicted to photographing people photographing the Cherry Blossom so you can expect to see photos from a few more visits! The guy in the top photo, carrying three cameras is hard to miss. He is very social. I have seen him at the weekly flea market a couple of times.

Bicyclemania
I photographed cyclists at three different locations yesterday. Team Rynkeby is a Nordic charity cycling team that travels from Denmark to Paris by bike. The purpose of this trip is to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany and Switzerland. I spotted him at The King's Park where I was photographing Cherry Blossom. The rest of the bike photos in this post are from two places in the Old Town. First Skeppsbron and then Munkbroleden cycling to and from work or whatever. It was the warmest day of the year. I cycled 80 km on my bike. Mostly in just pants and a t-shirt, which was nice.
