May 17: trip to Utö – ferry 2
The rest of the ferry ride to Utö as the afternoon wore on and the shadows lengthened.
2185
This is unequivocally Jurmo, given the island's flatness and lack of trees. (Note that there is another Jurmo in the archipelago, a larger, wooded, and more settled island in Åland. The two are easy to distinguish because this one looks like the moon.)
2187
Utö just coming into view on the horizon!
2189
Looking back toward Nötö and Aspö to the north.
2197
A rock marker glides by (relatively speaking).
2198
Possibly another part of the Jurmo shore.
2201
A pair of range markers on Jurmo. The rear one must be huge compared to the shoreside one!
2203
Sky land sea. (Range marker.)
2204
Moonboathouse.
2205
Big sky over the moonboathouse.
2207
Here we are at the Jurmo landing, getting into golden hour.
2208
Black and white figures, intermediate ground.
2209
Adjacent to the landing, an unintentionally rather modernist, austere composition of buoys, dock, breakwater, and island beyond.
2210
A bunch of things at various angles.
2215
YEAHHH Jurmo!!!
2224
Meanwhile, alongside, some rope foreshortening.
2225
From back out on the open water, Jurmo as thickened horizon.
2235
All the wood that we precut back at TKK.
2238
Aha! I see some familiar things! Also, that building on the foreground looks possibly drum-shaped; curious.
2252
Late afternoon froth.
2255
A rather alien-looking beacon.
2259
The way down to the hold.
2272
Utö with everything suddenly becoming quite clear.
2285
On an uninhabited island near Utö, Finnskär, that we passed by, a white cairn and...something else. Curiouser and curiouser.
2287
Almost there! The Havshotel complex is just in view to the right...
2289
and front and center here. It's like seeing old friends again.
2298
An anticipatory mood.
2301
The village, looking positively bustling.
2305
Late afternoon antennae.
