Mallorca
A small bed & breakfast inland and a rented car to explore the island. One full week of Mallorca! 🗺️ This beach is called Cala Agulla and it really was as blue as it looks in the image. The view from...
Astro is not obsessed about anything...
Except for this: retrieving a ball or a stick from the water.
That's something he can do for hours. I wish we lived closer to the dog beach or to some quiet lake, so he could get to enjoy summer his own way. In those moments, I miss Sweden (it's rare though! I'm happy af in Barcelona).

We, blurred and shot on film
We, blurred and shot on film, enjoying summer somewhere sometime. Eight and a half years with him. I hope it never ends.
Reminiscences of a Swedish summer
One of the very best years, spent swimming at the dog beach and picnicking near secluded lakes and rivers. Also: one of my first rolls of 120 film + Mamiya 645! {{3 }}
Swedish summer
While it's true that the Swedish summer can be warm and nice, it usually isn't. Most years are cold and rainy. There is always ONE week in July that's quite perfect. Every five years there's a heat wave that lasts two months. That's it. The Swedish summer in a nutshell.
A river in Norway
We went wild camping in Norway in 2016. Wild summer, we got snow and 5ºC temperatures. This is one trip I'd love to do again!
The week that changed everything
I went to Barcelona for a photography workshop. Jaanus joined me for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. A friend casually commented, "wow, right now it's snowing in Stockholm, while we sit by the beach and drink beer". The seed of an idea, planted in our heads.
I had no idea then that we would end up moving to Barcelona, that I'd quit wedding photography, change careers. That we'd spend our summers AND our winters drinking beer and enjoying the sun by the beach.
