Well, almost finished anyway! There might still be some photos to post. But I had to finish this before I go to the next trip or I´ll go nuts I think. :)

Wishing everybody a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Öland trip tryout

Last saturday I went to Öland. I´ve been in Gamleby and Västervik ( 3 posts on NF Photo starting HERE) for a week and now I headed south. I did go to Öland for 2 reasons. I wanted to try my tent. I have not slept in a tent since I was a kid and now I wanted to see if this is something I shall do in order to get to where the birds are. With a tent you are free to go where ever and when ever you like.

My equipment, my mobile home. And, yes, it is quite OK to use. :)

It was a good trip and I will do it again. But hopefully then there will be more birds. The only problem I had was to find the local Supermarket to buy food. Luckily I brought some with me. :(

The trip back home took 5 h with only one stop for gas and wc visits.
