Photos from Åland


A few photos from my week at the Island Games, starting with a colourful scene at the Opening Ceremony with hosts Åland the final team to enter the stadium.

A view of the impressive main stand as Åland take on Greenland in the opening game of the football tournament.


The football ground at Markusböle enjoyed the most glorious rural setting.


Trees and water - a typical Åland landscape - this from the terrace of the Café Uffe på Berget.


The Games were well supported, even at the outlying venues, here a packed stand at Bengtsböle in Lemland.


Another view of Bengtsböle, as Åland celebrate a win over Gotland, and another tree lined landscape.


More stunning scenery at Sund for the men's semi-final between Jersey and Guernsey.


The competitors gather for the closing ceremony under some of Mariehamn's famous linden trees.
