Photos Taken Around Torhamn Parish in Blekinge County, Sweden

These are assorted photos of Torhamn Parish, where my grandfather grew up.  After immigrating to America at the age of 17, he settled on the island of Chincoteague at the age of 23.  If you are familiar with Chincoteague and/or Assateague Island, you will see why he felt at home here, where he continued working as a waterman and net-mender for the rest of his life.
