Judges at the Nordic Games in 1909
In February 1909 the Swedish weekly Hvar 8 Dag published this photo (here with my colouring) of two judges at the Nordic Games - precursors to the Olympic Winter Games:
"The Nordic Games was the first international multi-sport event that focused primarily on winter sports, and was held at varying intervals between 1901 and 1926. It was organized by Sweden’s Central Association for the Promotion of Sports,[1] and more specifically by Viktor Balck, a member of that association and one of the five original members of the International Olympic Committee. It was, in many ways, a precursor to the modern Winter Olympic Games,[2] whose success was a contributing factor (along with the social and economic turmoil following World War I) to the Nordic Games's discontinuation in the 1920s."

A small fishing boat arriving in Helsingborg
This traditional wooden fishing boat arrived in Helsingborg this afternoon,
hopefully after a good day of fishing.
