Lovely Alex! You have chosen such a wonderful series of photos (not that you'd have anything else to select from)!

The July image from Sweden....looks quite like a Norwegian scientist's town I visited... was this one also where some scientists lived while researching?

No, this is actually a several centuries "church village". Farmers in the savage north of Sweden could only make it to church once a week or a month (depending on how far from the nearest town they lived), so they had very small houses scattered around the church, where they could stay for a night or two.

Well, you know me well enough by now. "Despot" is my second name (had to look up its spelling, actually ... ).

 

[Alex_B]

Well, LaDespot, is it OK when I post the next calendar within the next 120 minutes?
