Stretching Legs At Svartvik

Scenes From Svartvik - Photography by Lola Akinmade-ÅkerströmScenes From Svartvik - Photography by Lola Akinmade-ÅkerströmA few minutes outside of Sundsvall (about 210 miles north of Stockholm), an old rusty tugboat caught my eye, and we stopped to stretch our legs at a place called Svartvik (“Black Bay”) which looked like an abandoned industrial site of an old shipping yard as well as the final resting place of the tugboat.

Though it was a warm spring day (around 12°c), the nearby bay was still frozen solid enough to scuttle across in some parts. I wasn’t taking any chances.
