Cattle on the Kulla and Hogs Downtown - Sweden
Scottish Highland cattle on the Kulla Peninsula
Hiking, Biking, Ranching, Writing and more - My last days in Mölle
Despite the attractions of the town, the sea, and beautiful hikes, I managed to write every day I stayed Mölle. It wasn't hard, considering my options were the lavish hotel study, pictured below, and my balcony over the harbor. I added 30 solid pages. 90 page down, 270 to go!
Novel writing in the Hotel Kullaberg study, overseen by the Raja and a battle fleet. Not bad . . .
Beyond the town lies the Kullaberg Nature Reserve on a peninsula that comes to a point on its tip. There is a large bay to the east and the Øresund, with Denmark beyond, to the west. The reserve offers leafy forest, ocean cliffs, pasture, and even a golf course.

On the very point of the headland is Kullen Lighthouse (Kullens fyr). The lighthouse, said to the be the most powerful in Scandinavia, is operational, and serves as an important navigational aid for the heavy sea traffic in the vicinity. It is also the site of the oldest lighthouse in Scandinavia. The 16-century light was provided by fire held aloft in an iron cage. (see below)
An intriguing part of the lighthouse complex that looks like a bunker with a breakfast nook inside. Great view, though.

I returned to town from my hike, guided by the blue and gold Swedish flag over the harbor. The quiet streets had been taken over by a motorcycle gang! Well, a club. Coming from Arizona, I was used to seeing Hell's Angels and Mongols vests on bikers. This club was more like most American Harley riders, today. Lawyers, doctors, dentists, and real estate developers taking their hogs out for weekend rides.

In the wake of the Harleys came other kinds of adventure-seekers, undeterred by their tiny car
Alas, my dreamy time at the Kullaberg was drawing to a close. Although a quiet corner of Sweden, I was occupied when I wanted to be and otherwise remembered the simple joys of after dinner walks and gazing at the sea. My English friends offered to take me on a driving tour in the morning and drop me at the train station in Helsingborg. I thanked the hotel director who had been a fantastic host. I really enjoyed meeting Tomas, who had once been a Swedish rockstar touring Europe. He's a great guy and fun conversationalist. I packed and took in the night view of the town one last time.

Wonderful, upvote and resteem!
I'm glad you liked the post. Thanks for the resteem!
You do an excellent job of showing the amazing countryside of Sweeden. I would also like to see that corner of the globe some day as well, this sure seems to do it some real justice. The grazing cattle is an excellent shot by the way. Very nice post @nhkraft.
Thank you so much, @cryptkeeper17! This area was so picturesque and the weather was so beautiful. I was far less inspired in Gothenburg, only two hours to the north. Scandinavia is wonderful but still pretty expensive.
beautiful photos
Thank you!

Love the photo of the Scottish Highlander! Used to have a few on my farm, miss seeing their furry faces
That's fantastic, @clahatch34. I'd seen them in Scotland and wondered about them being in Sweden. They said the Highlanders did well there. The hiking path goes right through their pasture. Here's another!
You have really done a great Job by going into all this areas and making a snapshots of each. I enjoy going for tour and adventures with my lady once we are less busy at work and we do enjoy them.
I appreciate that, @femseen. Sometimes, I focus on a particular topic but I really like telling a story with travel photos, taking the viewer along for the ride.
Sure!!! I love that
i love countryside and liked the last photo, thank you for that
Thank you @moons00000 :) I love all the different colors of light in that night shot.

Thank you for reblogging my post!
Hello! Thank you for subscribing to my blog! I liked your stories about Sweden. I was not in this country. In this post I especially liked the picture of a sailboat in the rocks. I also write about my travels, you probably already noticed this. Nice to meet you )
Hi Mary! Nice to meet you as well. I enjoy your mixture of original art and photos. I see that you teach drawing. I used to teach fiction writing at the university where I now work as a web designer. Thanks for saying hello. See you on Steemit soon!
As interesting, you have changed interests from literature to design). I worked as a graphic designer for several years )
My friend teaches literature at the university, she is an expert on Dostoevsky.
I'm not involved in drawing, now I like drawing. I like life, traveling, drawing and writing - what I love!
Now that you mention it, I like life, too! :) Dostoevsky! I have read him but did not study him in grad school. My specialty is creative writing. Blogging is a fun combination of writing and photography. The trip I have been posting about was actually four years ago. I went to Svalbard to research a novel I have not finished. I'm looking for the motivation to work on it again.
I'm still looking at your posts. There are so many! Wave of cars keeps catching my eye.
Are you looking for inspiration?
When I worked a lot, I could not do creativity. I needed a reboot. I was very helped by yoga, I have been doing it for 7 years. I think you also need to find an occupation that will turn off the brain for a while ...
I have ceased to publish my art photos on Steemit, here they are little noticed. But I like to do it for the soul.
You said it. Since I started this job I have not added a page to my book. Change is coming. Thank you for chatting. It is good to find a like mind, even far away.
Wow! Great work nkraft! Your post has appeared on the hot page after 58min with 116 votes.
Thanks to @souldelas.
Good news!
