View over Kraków on a fresh January day
I have been taking photos ever since my uncle and aunt inspired me to buy my first DSL at the age of 16. I was born in Holland, moved to the eastern part of the Netherlands, immigrated to Sweden. Here I wrote a travel guide book as thick as a brick about my new home country, was a news and radio correspondent and was a teacher in Swedish schools. 15 years after settling in the land of the Vikings, I popped over to the southern side of the Baltic Sea, and found my third home in Kraków, Poland. The third time's the charm.
I have been busy with a lot of other stuff in April, but finally managed to add a very small set of new photos to my Bay of Kotor series.

Sveti Đorđe (Saint George Island)
24 April 2026 • Sveti Đorđe Island is a tiny natural island just off the coast of Peras in the Bay of Kotor, and is almost entirely covered by the Saint George Benedictine monastery built in the 12th century. The island is currently privately owned and cannot be visited.
Blekinge | Sweden
28 March 2026 •Blekinge is the southernmost corner of Sweden and is therefore often skipped by many tourists — unless one arrives by ferry from Poland or one makes an effort. Blekinge remains of enormous strategic value in the Baltic Sea. The Swedish Navy has controlled the coast from Karlskrona — the largest city — for centuries. The naval base and city formed a single entity for a long time and are even included in UNESCO's World Heritage for that reason.
