Schildt exhibition - photos from the Eastern Mediterranean

We saw the Göran Schildt photo exhibition in Stockholm today - with photos from the Finland-Swedish travel-writer's sailing trips on the small sailing boat Daphne in Greece and Egypt in the 1950's. Fantastic faces and sceneries, absolutely amazing imagery! Monasteries, folk art, sailing, antique remnants and people inhabit his world which is all but lost today. I recommend all to see the exhibition and perhaps read his books on the trips.

You can read more here on the Göran Schildt Foundation in Finland, Villa Schildt (in Swedish). Schildt's book may be purchased here.
