The opening of Fotografiska on Furillen, Gotland

We have seen how the owner of the island Furillen, Johan Hellström, have been working with some building project by this tower and today was the grand opening!

Welcome to Fotografiska, now also on Furillen, starting with an exhibition with stand-up comedian and photographer Henrik Schyffert!

Johan likes to talk, so naturally, he gave a nice speech when he declared the new tower opened. Well done, Johan!

Then we got to listen to lovely Frida Sundemo, who sang so beautifully that the tower started to shimmer and sparkle!

We had never heard of her before, but we were fortunate to speak with her before the opening. She was a really nice girl! Let’s hope her career develops well in Japan and that we’ll get to see more of her in Sweden.

Henrik Schyffert talked about his pictures with the theme ”Time on your own”. He did some stand-up, too – of course! He’s very funny, and we laughed a lot.

People mingled, ate food, and ate strawberries.

This woman is actually walking around with a living chicken on her arm! The mother hen had been killed by a fox, and since the woman began caring for this chicken, it refused to leave her. So she carries him/her with her all the time.

Lonely cabin by the tower.

Shelter for homeless birds?

I live and work on Gotland, Sweden’s biggest island, right in the middle of the Baltic Sea. I’m interested in many things and somehow I happened to start four blogs with different content.

Asa In the Middle of the World is in English and is also about life on this island, but the content has changed to be more about Apple. I’m very interested in Apple and since 1989 I’m a Happy Apple User.
