Suddenly, a few feet away, sunset!
2662

A multitude of islands just visible over to the southwest.

This streak of calm water extended from near shore over to the island of Ormskär to the north, and it persisted throughout the time I was exploring. I couldn't figure out what caused it.

A chalky sunset over an inky sea.

A few crepuscular rays low over Finnskär island.

This little bridge bore an uncanny resemblance to the seats of the benches we had been making.
2709

Brave violets in a tenuous spot.

A miscellany of pipes.

The hostel/sauna courtyard from the northwest.

Cross-threaded cirrus.

A few bits of remaining glow in the deepening twilight.
