kai's outdoor camp this week (see yesterday's post) takes place on skeppholmen. a small and lush island in the baltic sea. such a pretty rural setting (there are many) and so close to home! just a ten minute bike ride or five minute ferry to this quaint island.

riding to and from the island has been a lovely way to spend time. the other day, i decided to run to the island, around it and back for my five km run. as i fancy taking pictures, the run wasn't so successfully since i continually stopped to take yet another pic :) . sculptures, old buildings, boats and ships, and lovely views. could you blame me?
once a base for the navy, it has now become a cultural centre, home to several museums... the museum of modern art (see this post), the architectural museum, the east-asian museum, chic hotel skeppsholmen, and af chapman (the youth/family hostel on water that has an actual gangplank that is raised each morning at 2am for curfew).

| once the skating pavillon, it is now an events venue for hotel skeppholmen. i love the spires! |

| skeppholmen church built in 1823 is now used as an exhibition space |

| "paradise" sculptures from 1966. such a colourful group mixed with some iron work. |

the last time we were on the island it was incredibly cold (see this post). i much prefer strolling it on a sunny day.
