This weekend I went to the little island between Sweden and Finland; Åland. The island is a autonomy and is totally Swedish speaking, but belongs to Finland. It’s lying just in the entrance of the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea. The name Åland hails from the forn-nordic word of “ahvaland”, which means “water land”, but later became Áland, and then Åland. If you’re to directly translate it into Swedish, Åland means “River Island”.
Anyway, I never set my foot on Åland, just landed in their harbour by ferry. Before I’ve only done that in the summer, but still, Åland by winter… I have NO words. Do you? Usually I’m very impressed by photos and films of an tropical island and stuff like that, but this really makes my MY SWEDISH SOUL cry by pure joy. Cold as hell, but beautiful as in heaven.

How magical!
Yes, indeed it is even more magical IRL! 🙂
Oh, I can only imagine how magical it is in real life. What a winter wonderland.
Amazing photos! I want to see them bigger! 🙂
Sorry! I just had problems with my uploader to my blog “theme”, so I had to make them small. 😦 Glad you liked them though and loads of thanks! 🙂
