I am going black & white again. Todays pictures were shot in Lund, Sweden. I feel as I have come home as soon as I shoot in black and white. I just love it. There is something about it… I used to choose ”monochrome jpg” in the camera – but now shoot in RAW and…
#326 About a Picture
On my way to the train I pass this field. This may be as good as it gets.
#325 Keep photography simple
I have been here before and will come here again. I am making photography to complicated. Last week when we went to Norway I tried to minimize my camera gear, so that I could carry it around. Still it was to much. The gear in it self is small and not that heavy. I brought…
#324 Hike in Abisko
On our way back from Norway we made one last stop before flying down south again. We wanted to take a hike on the most iconic trails in Sweden – ”Kungsleden” (”King’s Trail”). The place to do this is in Abisko, which is where the trail starts/ends. The trail is about 467km long and streches…
#323 About a Picture
A hot day in the city. Any water is good.
#322 Lofoten fishing boats
There are some things I have a special weakness for – from a photography point of view. Fishing villages and boats are definatley part of those. Lofoten has an almost unlimited amount of both. I am not a fan of environments that are made for tourists – even if I must admit that I am…
#321 Lofoten villages
The small villages of Lofoten are often built around a small harbour – no surprise there. What strikes me is that they seem to be very alive. Fishing is still an income for people – of course combined with tourism. The villages we visited are still genuine and have a kind of ”ruffness”- even if…
#320 Lofoten hiking
When you come to Lofoten you have to go for a hike. There is nothing more beautiful – when the sun shines… We used the app ”All Trails” to find out an appropriate hike. It is a [very] good thing to get a map or download the maps on your phone. Check out the weather…
#319 Lofoten and the fish
Lofoten would be something very different without the fishing boats. One could argue that if it wasn’t for the large cod fish – the skrei – Lofoten may not be inhabited at all. At least not as it is now…. The fishing reaches it’s climax between january and april when the skrei comes back to…
#318 Reinebringen
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…
