A tour to the east of Gotland

Camera: Canon SX1 IS

Thursday we went for a tour to the east of Gotland with my sister and her husband. We headed for lunch at the smokehouse in Katthammarsvik. I ordered a delicious warm-smoked lax with caviar sauce. When we took a walk out on this quay it was a bit odd that the wind blew harder in the beginning, than when we were all the way out on it.

This is Eddy who walked to the horizon and back.

Vi continued to Grogarns huvud/”Grogarn’s Head”. It’s the high cliff mountain between Katthammarsvik and Herrvik.

Then we went to Herrvik, Sysne udd and then made a stop at Sjaustre. Dorty and I walked aorund with our cameras.

There were some faded Small Pasque Flowers that swayed in the wind.

I can’t remember the correct word for these? They use them with the fishnets and they are bright and red, as you can see…

Next stop was Ljugarn and the beach café. We continued to Folhammar. This HDR-picture is a test with my new Aperture app Hydra. It show the beach forest right before Folhammar north of Ljugarn.

I visited Folhammar a lot of times when I was a kid. I climbed on the rauks and we also went here in the evening, ran around in the labyrinths and grilled hot dogs. It was very cosy. Now when I walk around the rauks I can feel that cosiness again. When I came back home and watched this picture I saw the climbing boy. It could have been me climbing like that when I was a kid.

To stay late in the evening among the rauks was especially exciting when I was a kid. I think I have to plan more evening-picnics to the rauks!

We turned back home and stopped in Slite. We bought some thai-food and brought to a table in Badhusparken/the Bathhouse park. It was very windy! We had to be very creative to make the food, the small boxes and everything stay put on the table. But it was really nice!
