summer village Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hanö is an island south east off Listerlandet peninsula, western Blekinge. N 56° 00′ E 14° 50′ The picture is taken in the village of Hanö.

Between 1810 and 1812 the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom used the island as its base during its operations in the Baltic Sea. The "English Seamans Graveyard" is situated on the island, and still today British warships visit the island to pay tribute to the fifteen sailors who rest there. In 1972 the Royal Navy constructed a big wooden cross on the spot of the graveyard which is visible several miles out to sea. Hanö is also known for its lighthouse from 1906. You can reach Hanö from Nogesund on the mainland and in summer there is a ferry almost every hour.

hej Stefan.
It is a paradise Island with in swedish borders. but in the same time it has a certain boredom over it. dont know why, it shouldn't be so with summerdressed youths and a blistering sun.
just an impression from me maybe.

Hej Stefan.
Great summer's postcard from this beautiful Swedish island. I would have preferred to have a view of a piece of the sea included in the photo. You can tell that it's close to the water because of the triangular red sea-mark on the pole. Sharp and clear photo with great colours and contrast. Very well done. Good PR for Sweden.
Hälsningar
