Viking Stone Circle: This Viking stone circle has been here since about 700 AD. It may be an ancient grave site. It is just on the outskirts of Odensbacken. The word Odensbacken means "The Hill of Oden". Oden was the biggest Nordic god in Viking mythology.
My coworker, Amanda, her son Jonathan, and I traveled to Sweden for a 3 week holiday. There are two ways to view this blog. You can scroll page, after page, OR you can look at the left hand column (Sweden Photo Categories) and click on each day to view the contents. This is my preferred way to view the web site so you don't lose your place. Make sure you look at all the photos in each day. When you get to the bottom of a page click on "Older Posts". Do this until there are no more photos shown.

This trip made me smile continually.
