Uppsala
Uppsala is the forth largest city of Sweden and was once the capital of the kingdoms' lands of Svealand, still the name for the central part of the country. For me Uppsala was the first place I visited in Sweden, back in 2001. It later became my hometown for more than a decade. * new gallery: 28 January 2023

Arctic Winter
High up in Sweden lies a land that turns into a different planet when winter comes: step with me into the Arctic Circle.
