It is hard to go to Reine and not ”climb” Reinebringen – the 448m high peak right next to the village. Climb may not be the right word – more like ”take the stairs up”. A team of Sherpas built a stone stairway almost all the way to the top. An unbelievable achivement. Going up…

#317 Arriving to Reine in Lofoten
When you drive towards Reine you drive on the small E10 road, that curves around mountains and sometimes through long tunnels. Then suddenly – after the 1,5 km long ”Hamnøytunneln” – you are suddenly there. At first you arrive to the small Island of Hamnøy – and this is where everyone stopps to take photos….
#316 The way to Lofoten
Our way to Lofoten started in Kiruna in the most northern part of Sweden. We rented a car and drove for about three hours to Narvik in Norway. The new bridge ”Hålogalandsbrua” greeted us as we closed up on Narvik. The last time I was in Narvik – about ten years ago – the bridge…
#315 Camera gear for a trip to Lofoten
At the moment we are on our way to Lofoten in northern Norway for a week. I have heard so many good things about Lofoten and exepct a couple of great days with many photo opportunities. I had some problems in deciding what camera gear to bring for the trip. At first I planned to…
#314 About a Picture
Just so peaceful. A beautiful place.
#313 Leica stuff I regret I sold
I have bought and sold so much camera gear in my life, that I have lost count long ago. All this change of gear have led me slowly to where I am now – in the Leica M hell…or is it heaven…? I am not a collector. I often feel in my heart when I…
#312 My first two rolls from the M3
The other day my first two rolls from the Leica M3 came home from developing. I used to develop both film and paper pictures in the dark room – but now I have gone lazy and let others help me with that… The picture from Stockholm Central Station above was my first shot with the…
#311 Golfing with a Fujifilm X-camera
Golf courses can be really beautiful – but when they are located near water it is even more so. Earlier this year we played a course called ”Links Golf Öland” on Swedens second largest island [Öland]. In my bag I had a camera. A Fujifilm X-camera… The course is also called ”Grönhögen” from the small…
#310 Shooting Zeiss 4,5/21 ZM Biogon in Stockholm
Today I set out to shoot my Zeiss 4,5/21mm Biogon lens on my Leica M10 in Stockholm. It was a warm and sunny late afternoon – one of the warmest this year. I started out in the vicinity of the Central Station, where my hotel was. I walked to the southern parts of the city…
#309 What is this blog really about?
A couple of years ago when I started this blog, my intention was that it would be about photography with Leica and Fujifilm cameras. Today I write post number 309 and I am having a hard time to figure out what the blog has become over the years. Writing a blog like this has made…
#308 My [new] philosophy about photography
Once more I find myself in a creative dead end. I often do after a long, dark Swedish winter. What´s the point of taking pictures? What should I photograph? But – is it even necessary to have a point? I often find myself searching for a meaning – insted of just enjoying the process of…
#307 About a Picture
Just as we thought that spring was here – winter returns. Today we dozed in the sun and 12 degrees Celsius – tomorrow it will snow all day. Hopefully it will be gone again in a day or two. The picture is not from tomorrow – it is from earlier this winter. But I liked…
