Few books have been published about the Blue Maiden, even fewer with a picture material that does the island justice.
Blå Jungfrun: den hemlighetsfulla ön contains over 300 high-quality photographs from all seasons: magnificent panoramas, exciting details, evocative landscape images and fascinating portraits of animals and birds. The book wants to both entertain for the moment and tickle the wanderlust, but also remind us of the importance of taking care of our natural resources, if the heavy-handed quarrying that took place on Blå Jungfrun a hundred years ago had not been stopped, the island would have looked very different. Nature conservation challenges are not lacking today either.
The authors Martin Borg and Ola Karlsson both live in Lund, but have spent a lot of time on Öland since childhood. During the work on this book, they have been exempted from the Blå Jungfrun's overnight ban, an absolute prerequisite for being able to photograph seriously. For a total of more than a month, they have lived on the island and thereby acquired a unique opportunity to follow nature's diurnal and seasonal changes.
