The Town of Visby on the Swedish Island of Gotland is known as the “city of roses and ruin”.

Remnants of the Old Town walls dating back 800 years. Astonishing. l DR NORMAN CAHI
A beautiful sidewalk cafe, with roses of course.
Roses are everywhere and are beautiful.
Ruins of a Roman Church. The walls and shells are magnificent in their simplicity.
The stark contrast between the exquisite colours of the roses and lavender and the stone of the ancient statues and iron gates is striking and obviously instagrammable.
Of course, my love for photographing doors was richly rewarded by Visbys beautiful and interesting doorways.
The streets of the new town with its pretty buildings and old signage.
Unusual colour and wooden structure of this home is eye-catching.
