Monday’s photo essay is a little late but better late than never. In February I visited a friend in the small town of Skellefteå in Northern Sweden. It was a beautiful weekend of frigid snowstorms, the fog rolling in over the sea, and bright sunny days, the sky a stunning blue and everything else perfect, untouched white as we walked by the frozen river. The nights were filled with cosy drinks huddled away from the cold and crazy tunes at rockabilly pubs.
