Taken at Torekov, November 2007
I took this picture in November 2007, shortly before Husband and I moved to Sweden.
Three of us – two close friends from Copenhagen and I – went for a few days to stay at Torekov Hotell in southern Sweden to relax, enjoy some spa treatments and have a few laughs.
Sadly, just over a year after this picture was taken, and three years ago this week, one of these wonderful, kind-hearted girls died from cancer, just a few months after giving birth to her first child. She remains in our thoughts and our hearts.

Thank you. This picture is a wonderful way for me to remember her.

Thank you all for your comments.
Cancer is such a terrible disease and can strike so suddenly and quickly.
That’s so sad, I worked for Cancer Research for 8 years and the stories you hear are just alwful.
Sorry for your loss x
The light in this photograph is completely spell-binding, and so far I have only come across this special kind of light in Scandinavia
How terribly sad about your friend though

Yes, it is a special light, isn’t it? They say that it is best in Skagen, but in seven years in Denmark, I never managed to make it there…
It was a complete fluke that the photo came out this well – I was just snapping and when I downloaded the photos, there this one was, and I just loved it.
Oh I feel very tearful after reading that, such a beautiful peaceful photo. The light is magical. x
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. So tragic. But what an incredibly beautiful picture x

Oh, Sarah, so sorry to hear that about your friend. It is terrible. And the worst is that everyone seems to know at least one person affected by cancer. It really is heartbreaking.
its a beautiful photo made the more poignant by the sad loss of your friend. (hug) x
Thanks, Jenny. It is one of my favourite pictures. There is something very peaceful about it.
What a lovely photo with gorgeous light and a lovely if very sad memory.
