What if... Sunlit Memories by the Archipelago

On July 21, 2024, I captured a series of photographs featuring my dear friend, Ulf Nordlander, during a serene day at a beach in the Stockholm archipelago. In the first two images, Ulf, deeply tanned with his characteristic greyish hair and speckled beard, is seated comfortably on a red mattress atop a cliff near the water's edge. Draped in a grey sarong fashioned as a skirt, he smiles warmly, playfully holding in his stomach while gazing directly into the camera. The subsequent photos showcase Ulf amidst the rugged cliffs, partially submerged in the clear waters, maintaining his engaging connection with the lens.​

The Stockholm archipelago, renowned for its myriad islands and natural beauty, served as the perfect backdrop for our escapade. Earlier that day, Ulf had picked me up—likely on a Saturday or Sunday—and we made a pit stop en route to indulge in burritos for lunch. Our destination was a secluded spot where we could bask in the sun's warmth, surrounded by nature's tranquility. We remained on the beach throughout the day, relishing the peaceful ambiance until the sun began its descent, casting golden hues across the horizon.​

These photographs encapsulate not just a day by the sea but a cherished memory of friendship, relaxation, and the simple joys of life. The Stockholm archipelago, with its expansive landscapes and serene waters, offers countless such moments waiting to be experienced.​
