DN Classical Music Consert

The Swedish Royal Philharmonic Orchestra attracted 35 000 people to the fields outside of the Naval History Museum in Stockholm on this late summer's day. Their potpourri of classical pieces could be enjoyed under a sparsely clouded sky. We were happy to be able to once again listen to Drottningsholmsmusiken, which we used in our wedding ceremony both in Sweden and the US.

Vacation in Båstad/Skummeslöv

The Bjäre peninsula, view from Båstad beach, near Pepe's Bodega.











Tara enjoys the summer's last raspberry cider at the tiki bar in Sweden (!) in August.
Kim is having fun watchin the thunder circle around the bay area. These shots were from the last days of our week in the summer cottage. We had some incredibly hot and sunny days, although the ending of the week was rather gloomy.

As usual, Tara wanted to snap some shots of houses in the area that she would like to buy when we get old. Here are the results.


This fence, made of branches, is a trademark of the region. Chances are that the we will work on getting ourselves something like this if we get a house of our own.








Below: At the beach in Mellby. Sand dunes, sun, the ocean and a chess board. Can a vacation be more perfect than this? (Last time we played chess by the sea was in Key West, right next to the Gulf of Mexico.)
