April 4 2020 Stockholm, Sweden. FREEDOM TO ROAM. Compared to most other countries, restrictions due to the Coronavirus have been much lighter in Sweden. We still have the freedom to be outside as much as we like. Sweden is unique in the sense there is always nature around, also in the big cities. I’m trying to capture the meditative state myself and lots of other people get to when we let ourselves get absorbed by the forests and the lakes in Nackareservatet, a big nature reserve just outside Stockholm.  Photo by Moa Karlberg / Kontinent
