A relaxed pace of life paired with pastries and quality coffee helped lure photographer Cim Ek (@cimek) to move from Stockholm to the coastal city of Gothenburg, Sweden. “One of the best things about being in Gothenburg is that you have the west coast archipelago nearby,” she says. “For the same price as a tram ticket you can get out and explore some of the gorgeous islands like Vrångö, Donsö or Asperö. There is a never-ending beauty on these small and charming islands and I love to go shoot here off-season when it’s windy and cold.” When she’s not outside, Cim can be found inside a coffee shop. “We have a word in Swedish that means having a coffee and pastry, called ‘fika.’ We have at least one fika a day here!” For more of Cim’s #LocalLens on Gothenburg, visit blog.instagram.com.
