Meteorologist Lage Larsson takes us here together with photographer Hans Strand on a grand journey through Sweden, a country characterized by concepts such as early summer, late autumn, iron nights, menføre and dew.
Few phenomena are probably as deeply rooted in the Swedish people's soul as the passing of the seasons. Weather and the vicissitudes of nature are constantly present and characterize our existence, while the light - or the absence of it - affects us in our interior. The photographer Hans Strand has worked for a whole decade to take the pictures for this book. He has traveled around the country to depict the course of the year, from magnificent landscapes to distinctive details in nature. Lage Larsson tells not only about the seasons but also about the light, the weather, all the phenomena created by the tilt of the earth's axis. Together they have created an exquisite photo book, filled with interesting reading and surprising facts. Their depiction of the year, the weather and the light also becomes a reminder of the power of nature and of the fragile balance that forms the basis of all life.
»The Year Around is a true reading, viewing and aha experience for all of us who never dare to take "nice weather" for granted. Reading experience because the meterologist Lage Larsson, with the willing help of Johan Tell, has created a language as beautiful as an early summer morning. A viewing experience because Hans Strand's pictures give the book an extra dimension. Aha experience because the book shares knowledge that has been hidden for a long time, but is here made obvious.«
