Location of Skanor and Ystad |
After Skanör, we were going to head across to Ystad (we'd been there once before to see the Ales Stenar stones, but didn't get much of a look around the town).
Skanör is famous for a big harbour, a medieval church and a beach. It is apparently quite a popular site in summer, but when we went to head out, it was still snowing:

I've captured the drive in a timelapse video - see my previous post.
When we got to the beach the kids immediately got into a snowball fight:
Getting Ready |
First Blood! |
Incoming! |
Revenge! |
And again! |
Splat! - You messed with the wrong person Cameron! |
When we finally shook all the snow off, we headed down to the beach.
There were plenty of multicoloured sheds that we believe are private storage rooms and change sheds for when summer:
The sheds |
The photos above just show a small sample (and they're all different ones) - there were probably a hundred of them scattered just behind the snow covered sand dunes.

Venturing out onto the jetty |
And here's the shot showing how impressed Tomas was with the whole thing |
Looking down the coast |
Warning sign that the kids thought was hilarious - 'Grunt' means 'Shallow' in Swedish. "Why does he have a cross on his head?" - Alana, Tomas - "He must have grunted so they crossed him out." |

Looking down from the end |
The last of my shots - Now the expert photographer (and her apprentice) set up.... |
And sets up... |
Kris - "Stay at the end of the jetty so I can line up a shot." - it was bloody cold! |
A very impressive building on the shore |
The kids pose for a shot in the sandhills before we moved on |
And Kris came up to join us |
