National Day in Sweden Photo

Photographer’s Note

This beautiful mother is the most patriotic Swede I have ever seen. She has arranged bot her and her son's hair in blue and yellow, the Swedish colours, and also her nails are painted like the Swedish flag. Of course this Africa born lady spoke absolutely fluent Swedish, although she has not lived in Sweden for long. Picture taken on the National Day celebration on June 6.

Hello,

This is a great photo! Here in Denmark we often look over at Sweden as a place where they actually are still pleasant to immigrants. Here being an immigrant, especially an immigrant teenager is often spoken of like an accident waiting to happen. This photo seems to reassure me that Sweden deserves its reputation for treating immigrants well. Thanks for this great photo.
