Arnold and Newlin: Lima, Sweden, June 1970

We were invited to Lima, Dalarna County, Sweden, to help a family friend disassemble an old log cabin for reconstructing it in his backyard in Uppsala, Sweden. It rained most of the time we were there, but we enjoyed the tiny farmhouse we stayed in. (I heard that the log cabin burned down 15–20 years later.)

Arnold and Newlin: Linnaeus, June 1970

Our apartment in Uppsala was two blocks from Carl Linnaeus's house (now the Linnaeus Museum). We also visited his summer cottage in Hammarby.

Arnold and Newlin: Uppsala, June 1970

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 Thornantaken from Toruń, Poland, as war booty in 1703 by Swedish forces of King Carl XII (Charles XII) during the Great Northern War (1700–1721)
