This week’s winner is Clemens Gantar, who snapped the above picture of the M/S Stockholms Ström 3 ferry making its way past Lidingö in Stockholm.

The M/S Stockholms Ström 3 was built in Gävle in 1907. At the time it was powered by a steam engine, which has since been replaced.

This week’s winner, featured above, is Aimee Clark. She told The Local she and her family hung out with lambs at Gunnes gård in Upplands Väsby. She says it’s a “free to enter Viking farm where they have free range sheep”.

We got so many good pictures this week of readers celebrating Walpurgis Day – when Swedes light bonfires to welcome the start of spring – so we included a few more honourable mentions below.
