A twiglight time in Visby, Gotland, Sweden
Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 27 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
I took this photo some years ago, when we were visiting Gotland,the Swedish pleasant island for a good relaxing holiday.
Our visit was in August during the historical Middle Age days .
The history of the island is very interesting, you can find it HERE
This is now my choice for the theme "Blue Monday" hosted by Sally.
Other blue posts are HERE
Happy Monday to everyone!
Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

I have stopped by before for your posts. You always have lovely pictures of your area. I am half Finnish and half Swedish. Never traveled to either county, but my parents have to do geneaology research and visit relatives they have met there. Happy Blue Monday!

Yet another wonderful shot, Leena. It's odd to see large rocks on the shore... something we never see on North Carolina beaches. Must be all the glaciation in the vicinity of the Baltic Sea. Hope you have a pleasant Blue Monday... what's left of it for you

Why did the vikings went to France when they had such lovely spots at home ?

Oh, I've wanted to go to Visby for decades (30 years). Thanks for this beautiful shot of the twilight. My wish, however, is to go at the peak of the midnight sun.
