The first photos are from early June or even May, when Hazel was still visiting us. We have our spring jackets on.

Arnie could not sleep in the morning after the sun rose, so he frequently arose at 3:00a in our part of Sweden, where the sun dipped below the horizon for just a few hours in the summer. Restless, he would go for long walks in the city and take photos of the empty town at the early hours:

This is one of the bells in the Cathedral. It may be the one called
Thornan,
taken from Toruń, Poland, as war booty
in 1703 by Swedish forces of King Carl XII
(Charles XII) during the Great Northern War
(1700–1721).
