Spring is truly here. The river is opening up again and the nights are getting lighter and lighter. The midnight sun isn’t far away.

I always approach May with mixed feelings. What we call spring here in the north, and vårvinter = spring-winter in the south (were they don’t have this season), is my favourite season. It usually ends in May, with the snow melting away and the days getting longer and warmer. Well, sometimes warmer. This year April was much warmer than May has been so far. Bakslag we call it. No use changing to summer tires just yet.

An old sign. Just like the ones my parents put up on our street when me and my sister were little. It brings back childhood memories. Big letters, simple text. I could read it myself. It asks drivers to go slow and beware of children.

This weeks theme immediately made me think of Lapporten (you might recognise it from my header). It’s a prominent landmark in our mountains. And it’s quite beautiful if you ask me. One of natures own monuments. Unfortunately I don’t photograph it very often, but this old picture from an afternoon kiting on the lake still makes me feel happy and peaceful. I do love the mountains.

Torne River in summer and autumn. The change of seasons is something that makes me reflect. On time. On life.

It is also just beautiful to watch nature change her clothes. To me the snowy coat she wears in winter is especially beautiful.

Inside an interceptor.

At Flygvapenmuseum you can take a look, in a different way, inside this old machine produced in 1942.

A hidden place in the forest. Old stones. Old drawings.
How important was this place, a long time ago?

A beautiful little girl, a real treasure!

I couldn’t resist it. It had to be a picture of a dog. This little girl is actually my sisters, but she is precious to me all the same.

Torneträsk this last summer. It is quite a big lake (in the north of Sweden anyhow) and grand in it self, but I think it looks even grander with the surrounding mountains and the summer sky. The water is such a beautiful clear blue color, and refreshingly cold! Who would like to go for a swim?
