#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…

#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…

#256 Market Day

Today was market day in ”Old Linköping”. It was a really nice day and the market was full of people. The theme of the market was mainly plants – but there was a lot of other things as well… Handcraft is often seen at markets in ”Old Linköping”. The trees have got that light green…

#255 About a Picture

A lonley bicycle – probably stolen – has been standing against the wall at our small train station for a week or so. I liked the blue, black, silver and orange colors against the gray concret wall. The bicycle is a Swedish Mustang… Leica MP240 and Zeiss Biogon 2,8/35 ZM

#253 Late arrival

Finally it starts to show it self. Spring. Pretty late this year – isn’t it? Suppose it can be related to the climate changes of our world. I shot these pictures in Linköping yesterday with my trusty MP240 (even though it has a little flaw…). Love this part of the year…good thing I didn’t leave…

#252 The Leica World

Recently I had the chance to visit Leica World in Wetzlar. I had rather high expectations for my visit. In hindsight I wonder what I was expecting… Leica World in Wetzlar is in fact a couple of different things; a Museum, Picture Galleries, Coustumer Care, a Leica Store, a possibility to see cameras, lenses and…

#251 Why I like Black and White

Finally a day when spring seems to be in sight. Took my camera, coffee and an egg-sandwich…and my wife…and drove to a nearby lake. In fact the second largest lake in Sweden – Lake Vättern. The exact spot; 58.6681886N, 14.9245707E I used my camera set to Black and White today. I was inspired by a…

#250 About a Picture

We are often passing this small farm with sheep as we take walks near our home. I have posted pictures from here a couple of times on the blog. Today we passed again. In fact I had already passed the sheep when my wife said – ”look in the door – how cute :-)”. I…
