| Page Views: 225 Last Visit to Karlskrona: July, 2004 I Used To Live Here | Aspo by ratherton - last update: Dec 29, 2004 |
I've no idea why it's called Aspo Mad.....and it's not much of a port either. It's simply the place where the ferry drops off and collects passengers. |
|  | Typically Swedish Many Swedish houses fly their nations flag and the residents of Aspo are no different. I think it's great to see people showing their pride for their country. |
Water means boats As Aspo is surrounded by water, its only natural that people have their own boats. Actually, I may buy myself a little boat next summer | | |
| | Drottningskärs Castle Drottningskärs kastell dates back to 1680 and is the focal point of Aspo. As a strategic Naval base, Karlskrona needed to be protected from attack and the castle overlooks the approaches to the harbour |
Historic vandals Poorly educated yobs scrawling obscenities on walls are not a modern invention. Inside the walls of the castle, you can find examples of graffiti. This example dates back to 1914, before the days of paint spray cans | | |
| | Defence Some of the canon survive and have been restored to show how they would have been positioned to defend Karlskrona |
Sea life As with all marine areas, you will find seagulls. This one was waiting near the ferry after our evenings visit to Aspo | | |
