School shootings are rare in #Sweden, so yesterday's news is a shock. The scene of shooting is an adult school, run by a municipality for adults. This school is not limited to but mostly attended by immigrants wishing to gain a high-school certificate for higher education or jobs. RIP

Today, I visited the Mesdag Panorama, a 360-degree painting of Scheveningen—now a popular holiday destination, but once a bustling fishing village. It's quite an ingenious way to capture the panoramic view of the sea.
