Postcard from Blekinge

Travel with Abelo to Blekinge

The southernmost corner of Sweden, where the Baltic breaks into a thousand small islands. Oak forests, granite coastlines, and a quiet that seems to hold something back.

We went looking for the mood of Karen Blixen's tales and found it here. Volume III was made in this light.

Notes from Blekinge

Summer light in the north does not end, it only leans. By eleven the sky is still pale over the water, and no one quite goes to bed.

Bring a book you have already read. You will not get far in it, and that is rather the point.
