May 19: Utö – clearing fog

A very full day of work on the benches started foggy and turned sunny and beautiful.

2571

The edge of the earth that morning, as far as one could tell.

2575

A British sort of morning.

2579

A project with a bunch of earthmoving was underway in the middle of the Havshotel drive.

2581

The figures at the bottom of this scene almost look like some sort of glyph system, abstracted out of their original three dimensions.

2582

A variety of grays and browns.

2587

Bench bases being assembled inside the shop, sun having emerged.

2592

Old bench new bench at Stenhuset (some assembly required).

2597

New Stenhuset bench assembled and in place.

2599

A nice framed view of the water at the end of the road from Stenhuset to the village.

2606

Looking down the main pier.

2608

The tiniest log cabin.

2609

A pierful and boatful view out to the Kattrumpan lookout tower.

2611

Not too shabby a sitting spot.

2612

The sun although still relatively high in the sky was hitting the north side of the lighthouse by this point, thanks to this being close to the solstice.

2615

A thoroughly RGB scene.

2618

The radio towers near the hotel, from the south, in the latening daylight.

2624

The setup outside the workshop.

2626

The canonical view with summer dinnertime sun.

2627

Cyan shade.

2629

The sun bore into the living room of the hostel like a knife.

2636

Last bit of sun around the corner of the main hotel building.

2639

And through the hotel's multi layers of glass.

2643

Bench sunset.

2645

There it goes! Not a bad pastel palette of clouds.

2649

The back side of the bench sunset, the tiny lighthouse snuggled up against the radio tower.
