Many houses in Sweden are painted in a color called Falu Red. Originally the paint was a byproduct of the copper mine of the same name. The mine was already closed in the 17th century, but there was enough rocks and ore left to produce pigment for red paint up to this day. In the maze of the thousands of bays and islands along the Swedisch coast the red of the cottages and boat houses reflect in the calm water.
Great Photos. I like the surface reflections. And finally, I know why the houses are all red.
This years beautiful and warm summer was perfect for going north
