Northern Sweden

My first ever visit to northern Sweden took place this past weekend. Maria was working in Sollefteå for 2 weeks so I took a cheap flight to visit and have a closer look at the northern part of our country. An interesting weekend with something of a japan tour around the coastline. Passing over the Höga Kusten Bron(the High Coast Bridge) one of the longest hanging bridges in the world was nice and it was nice to see the really big rivers. not as dark and not as much forest as I had expected. But compared to the big city it is very deserted and  not much is open.  much is closing down and a lot of young people are moving south. a sad feeling lingers over the whole area
