Curious about how the coast looks in winter time, I went out there to check it out.









They said this would be a sunny day, but they were wrong. The next day was glorious :-/




"Fykan", where my parents liked to picnic.




What once was Grandpa's summer house....




..and it's winter view.




the stone house




Soten channel




control room for the draw bridge




Dad showing the hidden pond on the island of Smögen.




Now covered with ice and snow.




Granite surfaces perfect for sunbathing, now snowy.




The western seas are asleep.




So is Smögen. This harbor is jam packed with boats during summer.




Tasty Stroganoff lunch at Calmar Café in Kungshamn.




In line for ferry ride home.




The ride takes about 10 minutes - might as well get out of the car and enjoy the scenic ride.
