Hiking on Öland

This week I have been hiking on the island of Öland here on the east coast of Sweden. It was great, really good for the soul and mind. Not so good for my feet though :-) The weather was mostly fine, but with a few interrupting showers. On the picture to the left I think the sky is really dramatic, beautiful. I took the photo in the countryside just north of the town Mörbylånga.

I really enjoy solitude, when it is my own choice. Hiking alone is just as much a spiritual journey as a physical one. You really get a chance to think, breathe and get to know oneself. There are too many people in todays world that just can't manage to spend time alone. It must be awful to be a person that you just don't want to spend time with.
