Landsort is a Swedish village and a lighthouse on the island of Öja. The tower was built in 1689, with an upper conical iron section added in 1870. Open fires have been lit here since a long time ago.
The first "real" lighthouse was lit in 1651 and, until the now-standing tower was built, a couple of different buildings were used as the lighthouse. The 1689 tower was constructed to carry an open fire which ran on coal. In 1840, a colza oil lamp was installed. The flame ran on paraffin from 1887, and in 1938 it was electrified. Today the Swedish Maritime Administration owns and runs the lighthouse. Landsort traditionally marks the southernmost point of the Stockholm Archipelago. image hosted on flickr  Sea Fog @ the Island Öja, Landsort @ The Baltic Sea by ZoeEnPho, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  The Night Falls Slowly (the Baltic Sea) by ZoeEnPho, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  2.

Saltsjöbaden is a locality situated in Nacka Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden with 9.491 inhabitants in 2010. It is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea.
Saltsjöbaden (literally "the Salt Sea baths") was developed as a resort by Knut Agathon Wallenberg, a member of the wealthy and influential Wallenberg family, from farmland which he bought in 1891 through a newly created railway company. The local railway (Saltsjöbanan), built by Wallenberg and completed in 1893, connected Saltsjöbaden with Stockholm, with its terminus at Slussen. The railway was taken over by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik in the late 1960s and integrated in the Stockholm public transport system. Two luxurious hotels (1893) and a sanatorium were built, designed by architect Erik Josephson. The parish church, Uppenbarelsekyrkan (the "Church of the Epiphany"), was built 1910–1913 and designed by Ferdinand Boberg with decoration by Olle Hjortzberg and Carl Milles, among others. The remainder of the land bought by the railway company was subdivided into plots; with the railway facilitating communications with the city, Saltsjöbaden soon became a popular suburb for the upper and upper middle classes who purchased the plots and developed it with spacious private houses. When the reformer of late imperial China, Kang Youwei, visited Sweden after the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform, he bought an islet of Saltsjöbaden in 1904 and stayed there until he left Sweden in 1907. The islet is sometimes referred to in Chinese as Kang Youwei Island. The Stockholm Observatory was 1931-2001 located in Saltsjöbaden (see Saltsjöbaden Observatory). The asteroid 36614 Saltis, discovered there in 2000, was named after a common nickname of the place. In the world of chess, Saltsjöbaden is famous for the 1948 Interzonal tournament won by David Bronstein of the USSR, and the 1952 Interzonal won by Alexander Kotov, also of the USSR. Grand Hotel Saltsjöbaden hosted the annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group in 1962, 1973 and 1984.

Idre - a locality and winter resort situated in Älvdalen Municipality, Dalarna County, Sweden with 794 inhabitants in 2010. It was also a historical parish and former municipality.
The two parishes Särna and Idre were originally part of Norway but were occupied by Swedish farmers in 1644. The 1645 Treaty of Brömsebro was ambiguous regarding the status of the parishes, but when the exact path of the border was to be decided in 1751 Norway accepted a border west of Idre and Särna. In 1971 the three municipalities Särna, Idre (which itself had been split off from Särna in 1916) and Älvdalen were amalgamated to form the present municipality. image hosted on flickr  Idre by Joakim Oscarsson, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Idre sunset by Naemi Rosander, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  View over "Västbacken". by Brusvik@Idrefjäll, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Idre 2012 by StureP image hosted on flickr  Idre Fjäll Mountainsun by KasperLaurits, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Städtjan Mountain, near Idre Sweden by arrrrt.blogspot.com, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Städjan by Görgen, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Idre fjällen 2011 by Scotten (PeA), on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Idre fjällen 2011 by Scotten (PeA), on Flickr

Sverd i fjell (English: Swords in Mountain) is a commemorative monument located at the Hafrsfjord fjord, just outside the city of Stavanger in Norway.
The swords commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord that took place here in the year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown. The largest sword represents the victorious Harald, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated petty kings. The monument also represents peace, since the swords are planted into solid rock, whence they may never be removed. image hosted on flickr  "Sverd i fjell", Hafrsfjord, Stavanger by Flemming10, on Flickr |
