A Sun Pillar Over Sweden

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

Apart from telling me that this photo is roughly in Östersund, there is no info about what this little settlement is. (Östersund being an urban area, which this clearly is not.) This is the sort of pic that makes me want to be there.

Tell us something.: I've been making whistles since 2010 in my tiny workshop at my home. I've been playing whistle since teenage times.

The photo was taken at Jamtli in Östersund.
"Jamtli is the name of the regional museum of Jämtland and Härjedalen in Östersund, Sweden. It consists of an open air museum with historical buildings, and an indoor museum with both permanent and temporary exhibitions."

No, not really. There's just a sort of camp-like camaraderie feel to the image, but that it's an historic reconstruction makes sense.

Way up north, sometimes little villages never appear on any map.

Consider the village of Rovala, having 7 houses (N67.6° E28.6°).
I am as Celtic Irish as it gets, but put THIS beautiful Scottish melody on your flute.

Tell us something.: I play high and low whistle with Traditional Irish Music being my focus of interest. I love Irish music and consider it as a direct connection to my Irish heritage. I enjoy participation in whistle tours, chatting with other players, and learning much from the many talented folks that frequent C & F.

Geez, until you gave the coordinates, I thought you were talking about Warrenville. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is well worthwhile to check out the photographer's site:
http://www.astrofotografen.se/About.aspx
Some great photos in his gallery!

On his Facebook page he wrote that he took the photo at Jamtli, which is a museum village in Östersund, Sweden. I did not make that up!
