#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…

#249 The west coast

Went to the west coast of Sweden over the day. A three hour trip by car. When I left home it was snowing, but as I came closer to the west coast the snow shifted to rain instead. It was a work trip – but as usual I found time for some photos at the…

#247 Morning in Norrköping

Had the time to go for a walk in Norrköping before work the other day. Found me a bridge – but that was not all… One of the main streets in Norrköping City early in the morning. The yellow trams goes up and down the street all day. At this early hour only a few…

#245 A 35mm lens

Started my day with an early morning walk around a small local lake today. I only met one person and he was on his way home. He had been there since before sunrise and photographed birds. He had an enormous lens on his camera – at least 500mm. Pointed at my camera and asked what…

#244 About a Picture

Arrived to Norrköping Central Station when it was almost dark today. My train from Stockholm was delayed by an hour. The connecting train was on time, but I had half an hours wait first. It was cold outside tonight, so it was tempting to sit and have a cup of tee inside the station building….
