I know this doesn’t look like much but it is the sight you see when you come out of the train station. Very serene except usually with bicycles and some cars.
One thought on “Lund, Sweden”
Thanks for all of the great photos.
Serene is a nice ambience for visiting.
It does look like Lund could be swallowed up whole by all of the greenery, especially the vines!
Very pretty and quaint.
