Just north of the small town Simrishamn, at the Swedish south coast, you find one of the most beautiful beaches in Sweden – Knäbäckshusen (the houses of Knäbäcken). To mee it looks like a paradise island. Well…at least until you notice that the water is considerbly colder than it would be at a paradise island…and…

#274 A late evening by the sea
The little village Vik by the Baltic Sea is an old fishermans village. We took a walk down to the small harbor one evening last week. The village is poorly lit during the dark hours. The streets are so narrow that it almost feels like we are inside the houses as we walk by. I…
#272 Leica Hike
We have taken a couple of days off from work to hike in one of my favourite parts of Sweden; Österlen. Yesterday was a fantastic day – almost like summer. We started off with a 12 km hike around the ”Hills of Brösarp”. My Leica M10 is here for the first time and it is…
#271 Monochrome
Today I went monochrome again. It was just one of those days. I have found that even if I shoot only RAW with my Leica M10, I can set Monochrome mode to ”ON”. I am not sure if I could do that on my older Leicas…but that is a nice feature. That way I get…
#268 Lighthouse Photography
A classic Swedish Lighthouse type ”Heidenstam” at Kapelludden on the eastern part of Öland (the second largest Swedish island). The Lighthouse was put in to service in 1872 and is still going strong. It was renovated in 2021 and is as good as new. We had this as a turning point on a small road…
#267 Fine Art
Had this idea that I should try and shoot cleaner and more ”Fine Artish” pictures. It has occured to me that my pictures often are quite messy. I want to try and shoot pictures that leaves the viewer calm and relaxed. Made this my mission the other night as I stayed a night in Swedens…
#266 Bicycles
Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles. Copenhagen are full of them. I haven’t seen so many bicycles in a long time. The come in all shapes and everyone seems to ride one…
#263 A B&B in my taste
The next chapter in the series ”Unexpected Experiences” is written. This time it is a story of a small Bed & Breakfast in the Swedish countryside. And a mustery. And a music scene. But mostly it is about a dream of a man and his wife. A dream of creating a new life to an…
#262 Kyrkö Mosse Car Graveyard
Still in the deep forests of Småland. The place is called ”Kyrkö Mosse”. A sign beside the road; ”Car Graveyard”. A small parking is half full of cars and motor cycles. A handful of visitors can be seen between the trees. Nothing else is visible from the parking – we have to walk a little…
#261 The Kingdom of Glass
In the deep forests of Småland in the south of Sweden is a small and rather unknown kingdom; The Kingdom of Glass. Glass has been made in the area since the 18:th century. Today there are 13 active glassworks in the ”Kingdom”. Many of them are popular among tourists and thousands visit the glassworks every…
#259 Golden Times
You may have heard about the Swedish band Roxette. It was a huge success in the 1990:s and was known all around the world. They had hits like ”It must have been love” (theme from ”Pretty Woman”) and ”Joyride”. The band was built around Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson from Halmstad, Sweden. Sadly Marie passed…
#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…
