#294 Blue hour in Trondheim

Minus 15 C in Trondheim this morning. Blue Hour is long this time of year. I am up early to see the city for the first time. The river Nidelva is calm and cold. The Leica M10 is around my neck. This will be a good day! Coffee sounds good this time of the day,…

#293 Trying something new

I have never been much for experimenting in Photoshop. I have always tried to show things the way they are in my pictures. Until now. Suddenly I felt like experimenting – ever so slightly – with Photoshop. Used the cathedral walls to create a structure over the picture. This was fun. Much to learn…

#292 Leica M10 in Gothenburg

Have spent a couple of days in Swedens second city Gothenburg. Had my Leica M10 in my bag, of course and shot some pictures between work sessions. In the morning and evening we had to cross the river to get to our meetings. A great way to start and finish the work day. There were…

#291 Vadstena

Sunday. Still cold weather outside, but that didn’t stop us from taking a hike around Vadstena, by Lake Vättern. Interesting to see how the Leica M10 would handle minus 10 dregrees Celsius. We were outside for about an hour and a half and the M10 worked just fine. Nice to know… It is not every…

#290 About a Picture

Minus 17 degrees celsius. The sun has just set and the mist almost hides the church in the nearby village. What a sight…

#289 Cold sunset

Really really cold in Sweden tonight. About -40 degrees celsius in the north and ”only” -12 down here in the south. The sky was fantastic as the sun set. I went to a nearby church and took some pictures with my M10 on a tripod. Used the Zeiss 4,5/21mm on the camera.

#288 Soul of the walls

In a small street in Helsingør (Elsinore), Denmark, you can find this version of the classic Hamlet by the Italian artist Eron. Walked by it yesterday in the cold wind…

#287 A White Christmas

It seems it will be a white Christmas after all. The last two days it has snowed more or less all the time. There were cars both here and there along the way to town today. Sometimes I wonder if people dont realize that snow makes the roads slippery… The pictures from todays post are…

#286 About a Picture

The cormorants are lined up and watching the ship on it´s way to Copenhagen. The sea is calm in the early morning. The next morning it may be a storm or freezing fog. The ship will pass and the cormorants will watch it. I only saw it this morning – but I can see it…

#285 A new part of town

Back in my birth town Helsingborg for a short visit. Woke up early and went for a walk along the sea. There is this new part of town called Oceanhamnen (The Ocean Port) that is built at an old part of the port of Helsingborg that was not used anymore. Some parts of the old…

#284 About a Picture

It has been really cold in Sweden the last couple of days. I have been busy at work and not even touched the camera – but as I walked to the train in Stockholm tonight I just had to take a shot. I always have the camera in my bag. Today the Zeiss Biogon 35/2,8…

#283 About a Picture

One of the coolest buildings in Uppsala. Also real cold outside today. About minus seven or eight degrees Celsius as I shot the picture. Love the color of the building, the shape of the tunnle and the light. I keep coming here as I take photos in this city…
