#258 About a Picture

She was just standing there, in the middle of the lavenders. Just had to take a picture. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2/50 ZM Planar

#257 About a Picture

From a distance the island looked like a ghost island. As we got closer we saw what had happened. Cormorants. The trees were full of them. In a way it had become a ghost island. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 ZM Biogon

#256 Lunch Music

I was walking through central Linköping during my lunchbreak today, as I heard a brassband somewhere in the vicinity. I followed the sound for a while and there it was. It turned out to be ”Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker” (the Swedish name of the band) playing under the lead of two student conductors. People passing by stopped…

#265 The Accordion

When we least expect it, we can find our selves in situations we will remember for life. Things we will tell to our friends and smile to the memory. Such a thing happened to me today… A couple of weeks ago I put out an old accordion for sale. It once belonged to my wifes…

#264 Next chapter – the Leica M10

As I wrote in a prior post, my Leica MP240 has a little flaw. Nothing big – but it needed to go to Leica to get a minor repair. My plan was to try and find an M10, buy it, send my MP to Leica and then sell it as it comes back a couple…

#263 Tonight in Uppsala

Some shots from Uppsala this evening. Nice weather in a nice part of the city. Liked the colors of the buildings… There are a couple of these vaults in the buildings near the Cathedral. I can’t help my self from taking a frame or two every time I am here. Today I tried a slight…

#262 Colors in Stockholm

Work night in Stockholm. Went for a short evening walk in the blocks around my hotel. The small park ”Humlegården” was full of life. Nice to see so many people having a good time playing games, eating, walking, sightseeing and drinking (!). Colors were amazing in the park, with the setting sun behind the houses….

#261 Hamburg in 3,5 hours

Well. It´s official. Three and a half hours in Hamburg isn’t enough. My short work trip to northern Germany didn’t allow for more this time. Luckily Hamburg is pretty close to Sweden and can be revisited. During the short amount of time I ate some kind of strange (but good) cheese at an Indian restaurang,…

#260 Travemünde

The next stop on my short journey to Germany was the small seaside resort Travemünde. The small town is located on the mouth of the river Trave by the Lübeck Bay. I visited during what I suppose can be called pre-season. There was not that many people on the streets – but it is easy…

#259 A short stop in Denmark

I was driving through Denmark, heading towards Germany. My plan was to take the ferry between Rødby and Puttgarden. The traffic was nice to me in Copenhagen and I had plenty of time. Decided to make a short stop in the small town Nykøbing… Not many people out on the streets when I arrived. It…

#258 Coming home

It is always the same. No matter if it has been three days (as it was this time) or three weeks. When I take the ferry from Helsingør (Denmark), I get the shivers as we pass into the beautiful port of Helsingborg (Sweden). The trip may have been fantastic – but when we pass this…

#257 Wetzlar – the home of Leica

The other week I visited Wetzlar in Germany and the Leica World – as I wrote in post no 252. Even if my visit to Leica wasn’t what I had expected – I had a good time in Wetzlar as a whole. I stayed in ”Alt Wetzlar” – the old Wetzlar – and walked the…
