Are you ready for some Vikings? I visited a Viking Market last weekend, and over the next week or so I will bombard you with photos and portraits from that fun event. The Viking with the beard on these two photos is called Fredrik. The red-headed Viking Babe answers to the name Helena. Both are into the whole Viking /Medieval thing and have been to several markets around Sweden. Like the Medieval Week on Gotland. Fredrik has also been to the market in Poland and the one on Åland. During this market they displayed some historical games. I tried the game Släppkäpp where I lost twice to Fredrik, who probably had been in hard training for the last few years. On the second photo Fredrik is leaping back in time! Or at least showing how to successfully beat Helena in backward leaping!

Oh I love these events! This is great.
I'm going to enjoy this series very much if the other shots are as great as these.
The top portrait photo of the Viking pair is wonderful! Utmarkt! Did they talk about taking a boat to Iceland, Greenland and then on to discover America??

There have been a lot of posts of late from around the world with reenactors of history, but yours has to be the one that goes furthest back in time! That beard is amazing for such a young man.
Fantastic events ! Lovely shots !! Thanks for sharing..
Wonderful photos, and I look forward to the series very much! I like to learn about the background of the photographs so the text is very interesting to me as well.g
