Tosteberga Harbour

Tosteberga, August 19th 2020

One thing I have been looking forward to with our motorhome is to be able to go to a place the night before trying to capture a good picture at sunrise. To be able to find a place and not have to set the clock at 03:00 to arrive on time.

So this week, the trip went to Tosteberga Harbor. I found the place via an app for motorhome parking spaces. And when I looked at satellite images and other people's images from the site, it looked like it could be perfect. Now it did not become entirely optimal because the place I had intended to photograph from was not possible to reach without walking with cows. It can not be done simply with Exor, probably the farmer would not have been particularly amused by it.

I got the best place in the harbor, in my opinion, closest to the sea and no car next to me on the side towards sunrise. It made it easy to quickly check at 5 in the morning to see if the sky had potential, and it did.

Because the place I want to go to was not possible to reach, I only walked about twenty meters out on the pier. It feels a little strange that in Sweden, just after 5, to be able to stand in short sleeves in balmy winds and take photos.

The pictures may not have been magical, but the experience was a highlight. Even though I like to hike, it has its charm to basically just roll out of bed and take my landscape photos. Then, when the sun has climbed a bit in the sky, walk a few meters to a motorhome and make your own coffee at 6 o'clock in the morning.
