Such a picturesque and colorful little seaside town. All those red roofs! Looks like a very pleasant place to explore, hike, and enjoy the sunshine.

Fantastic photos as always. Seems like a lot of history for such a small town! I always like places where there are no cars, so I'm sure I would like Marstrandsön.

I wish it was sunny like on your pictures like that right now. Here it's grey and cold today. BTW, I love narrow passage ways.
