A windy day in southern Sweden today. The sun is shining and the temp is around 5 degrees C. The wind is making a nice pattern in the water puddle. My Fujifilm X-T2 is out and about with me. Lately I have almost exclusively used my Leica M on a daily basis, but sometimes it…

#226 Frost in a different way
It is a – nowadays – typical on and off winter in southern Sweden. For now we are having a couple of minus centigrades. The good thing about that is that the frost is making the landscape really beatutiful. We were on our way south when I saw this fantastic church – Säby church. I…
#221 Frosty Christmas Day
In Sweden we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day is a day to relax, spend time with family and eat food from yesterday… The weather was fantastic before noon. The nature white of frost. We went for a nice walk on the nearby countryside. Felt like using my X-T2 today and mounted the XF50-140/2,8….
#217 About a Picture
Our house is built about 200 meters from the main railway between Stockholm and Malmö. Trains are passing at high speed around the clock. When we moved here we were a little afraid that the trains should be disturbing – but it has almost become the other way around. The trains are our old friends…
#214 Grey grey grey
Yet another gray day here in our small corner of Sweden. I like shooting black and white on days like this. A nice old Kodak Tri-X in the camera gives life to the grayscale. The lone oak tree has been posted on my blog before. One of our walks is passing the tree and every…
#213 Darker
Sweden in November. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder. Drove to a local farm to buy some eggs today in the afternoon. A really boring day when it comes to photography. But why? Why not take pictures in boring conditions as well? Had to stop and take a picture towars…
#210 About a Picture
During the initial Covid years many of us – including me – learned to work and live almost all our lives at home. It was then I started to go for a short walk in the morning before work – something I still try to do every now and then. I find it to be…
#199 Moody Mist
A morning walk before starting work. Three degrees Celcius and mist over the fields nearby my home. It feels like the summer finally is moving into autumn. The nature is turning red and yellow again. The following weeks can be really beautiful – but this morning is more like the mood in the world today……
#191 What just happened?
It feels like it was only yesterday when the fields were green and growing. The cold and darkness was gone and the days were getting longer. Now, suddenly, the farmers are harvesting all around. But it is only august and we still have a couple of months before the days are shorter then the nights,…
#184 An Unexpected Church
Like a medieval castle it raises over the land – the church of Orlunda. Orlunda is not exactly a place you see from the highway. I first visited the small village about twenty years ago, as I drove around without a plan with my camera. As I understand, the church is closed at the moment….
#181 The Bridge
There is this bridge outside Luleå that I have wanted to shoot for a long time. The bridge is called ”Old Gäddvik Bridge” and is a classic construction that is often seen in Sweden. I just haven’t had a good opportunity to stop and make something nice of the bridge. This time I was lucky….
#179 About a Picture
Drove by this field as I was buying eggs from a nearby farm. The red poppies are beautiful – even though the farmer didn’t like them. As I was taking the picture he stopped his car beside me and said ”Are you photographing the misery…”. Then he laughed and said ”You are not the first….
