Apollo in Glasgow

I actually thought I posted these photos when I took them, but I must have forgotten.
In october I flew to Glasgow to take photos of Icebreaker on their Apollo tour. They’re doing a europe tour this year and they needed some new photos. This isn’t actually the finished product but I thought a collage would work quite well. Not to sure if some of the darker photos fit in their, they may need replacing.

The promised photos

I only just got home, so it took a bit longer sorry. Really happy with this blog. This is my feel good blog.

Kiruna

So after many days of driving, a lot of photos and loads of times filling up with petrol, we finally made it to Kiruna. And a first on this blog a photo not taken by me and a photo with me in it, so actually 2 firsts.

Colder and colder…

The further north we went the colder it got. Which I guess makes sense but when I say cold I mean like snowing cold. And that we were not expecting. Anyway, we had to stock up with some warmer clothes.

Ytterhogdal

After the national park we headed north on a road on which we didn’t see any people, houses or cars for nearly over an hour. We stopped in this little town, on a river and of course a lake, called Ytterhogdal. Brilliant name, isn’t it?

Fullufjället

After Rättvik we drove to the Fulufjället national park which was close to the norwegian border. It was pretty amazing, I’m afraid my photo of the highest swedish waterfall, the Njupeskär didn’t quite turn out like I wanted. But with the sun right behind it I really didn’t know how to do it better.

Rättvik

From Karlsborg we travelled north past Örebro and Borlänge to Rättvik. We actually thought Rättvik was kind of nice. Basically for 2 reasons. Firstly we thought the hundreds of ducks living on the camping site were brilliant. It felt like camping in a nature reserve. And secondly it has this amazingly long pier which just ends in the middle of the see on this tiny island withe a couple of trees and benches.

More Sweden, more Seas

I think I’m going to stick with these black frames. I think they look great.

Karlsborg

We drove along the coast till we got to Lysekil and then started driving further inland. We stopped at Trollhättan to watch the opening of the Trollhättan falls which was a bit disappointing. We spent the night at Karlsborg, another nice little town next to a sea.

97 500 lakes

Bet you didn’t know that Sweden has 97 500 lakes. That’s seriously a lot of lakes
