First entry

I'll start by showing you some nice pics of Olofström, a village in Blekinge, Sweden. I spent my vacation there last month. I often spend my holidays in the Scandinavian countryside, as it contrasts so much with my own, urban, part of Europe.
What sets this area apart from other areas in Sweden is its broad-leafed forests. Not that you won't find them in other parts but here conifers aren't so dominant.
What I especially like is that you don't have to stick to marked paths. I love to just head into the woods (with map and compass).
Olofström's old power station.
The church of Jamshög, just south of Olofström.
I love all these huge boulders, left over from the Ice Ages.
