A small selection of photos from the DKM + 2014
The competition is in four lakes (and 3 portages between) and the distance is 55km, I competed in 2011, 2012 and 2013, this year I rested. đŸ™‚

 A nice evening paddle with 15 kayakers, start from Rörvass.

Redfield Fractalius
Had some fun with a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Fractalius from Redfield.
Not always that beautiful…. but slightly different. đŸ™‚
All photos are from the lake Vänern, close to my home.
Shrimp Sandwiches
Today my wife and I drove to Värmskog to eat their famous shrimp sandwiches. They are very tasty with hand-peeled shrimps.
Molly seems to be hungry.
Nice sandwich.. đŸ™‚

3 days on Lurö
Saturday, July 5, I started from Ekenäs marina and paddled south to Bösshamn.
On Sunday, so I reluctantly made way around on the trails that they have on the island, went through a detour (a bit lost) to Stenstaka. After a good ice cream I went back to Bösshamn.
Not so many tourists on the island yet but it will come later. Plenty of birds were there, among others, Havsörn, Fiskgjuse, any kind of hawk probably Brun Kärrhök … and seagulls.
Managed to miss a huge lightning storm mainly affected Dalsland.
After having been ashore for 10-15 minutes it started to rain. đŸ™‚
Lördagen 5 juli startade jag frĂ¥n Ekenäs gästhamn och paddlade söderut till Bösshamn.
PĂ¥ söndagen sĂ¥ knallade jag runt pĂ¥ lederna som de har pĂ¥ ön, gick via en omväg (lite vilse) till Stenstaka. Efter en god glass sĂ¥ gick jag tillbaka till Bösshamn.
Inte sĂ¥ mycket turister pĂ¥ ön ännu men det kommer väl senare. Gott om fĂ¥glar var det bl a, Havsörn, Fiskgjuse, nĂ¥gon form av hök troligen Brun Kärrhök, … och FiskmĂ¥s.
Klarade av att missa ett stort Ă¥sk-oväder som främst drabbade Dalsland.
Efter ha varit iland 10-15 min sĂ¥ började det att regna. đŸ™‚
Blomma, troligen Luröea blommis … typ.
Gulls went around and ate blueberries ..
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

Midsommarfirande i Borgvik 2014
With the lovely weather we went to Borgvik to check on midsummer celebrations, many people were there but it’s a big area to walking around on.
Med ett härligt väder Ă¥kte vi till Borgvik för att kolla pĂ¥ midsommarfirandet, mycket folk var det men det är ett stort omrĂ¥de att knalla runt pĂ¥.
It produced coal here in the old days         Här tillverkades stenkol förr i tiden
StĂ¥ngen restes
Spända och förväntansfulla Ă¥skĂ¥dare.. đŸ™‚
I should have taken the kayak with me. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Jag borde ju tagit med kajaken.
  Molly got on well with the water afterwards.               Molly trivdes gĂ´tt i vattnet efterĂ¥t.
