Yellow and Blue: the Colours of the Swedish Flag

We went to Sweden after some time in Denmark and found that the Swedes do not display their flags nearly as much as the Danes.

Boats are the best place to find the yellow and blue Swedish flags.  A boat from Grebbestad in Sweden, with two yellow and blue Swedish flagsIn Sweden the ‘Dangerous Curve’ signs are yellow and blue like the Swedish flag.
