From Sweden to Transylvania
Two countries, thirty years apart. Dalarna in Sweden, and then a Saxon village in the Transylvanian hills.
I lived in both rather than passed through them. Everything below comes out of that.
From Sweden to Transylvania312 photographsThe long move, and the two countries either side of it — Dalarna and the Transylvanian hills, photographed by someone who has lived in both rather than passed through.
Leksand in HDR226 photographsLeksand, in Dalarna — the Swedish years, worked in high dynamic range.
Șomartin in Color95 photographsThe village itself — the stone, the light, the seasons turning over a Saxon settlement of 250 people in the Transylvanian hills.
Historical Sibiu79 photographsSibiu — the Saxon city an hour down the valley, and the nearest place a visitor would land.
Churches of Transylvania31 photographsThe fortified churches of the Saxon villages: built to be prayed in and defended from, and still standing over settlements far smaller than the congregations they were raised for.
Astra National Museum23 photographsThe open-air museum outside Sibiu — watermills, homesteads, workshops and churches moved here beam by beam.
