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…
#248 Between the rain showers
Between the rain showers we went for a walk on the countryside. Tomorrow the snow is supposed to come back again. Took a few shots with my MP. Have shot RAW for a while – but decided to go back to JPG:s again. Used the color filter ”Smooth Color” in the camera. No editing.
#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…
#237 Too easy?
Another beautiful day, another hike. Todays trip went to the castle of Bjärka Säby, south of Linköping. It may have been sunny – but it was pretty cold. It was a short hike – about 5 km – but we found a place we have to revisit when spring comes. As you know [if you…
#236 Wind, sun and patterns
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…
#234 Giants
Oak trees are the giants of the Swedish nature. It doesn’t matter wich time of year it is. The oak tree stands as the master of all trees – and has done so for hundreds of years. Pictures from ”Tinnerö Oak Landscape” in Linköping, Sweden. Shot with Fujifilm X-T2 and a Fujinon 50-140/2,8. Overedited in…
#233 About a Picture
A small red house with white knots in the Swedish countryside. Typical Swedish. The flag is blowing in the hard, cold wind. It is about 2 degrees centigrades, but the sun is shining. Soon this picture will be almost completly green. Can’t wait…
#232 Sounds of a Nature Reserve
We continue our hunt for nearby Nature Reserves. ”Vesterby Lövskogar” is number 20 on our list. We are slowly getting closer to our goal – visiting all Nature Reserves of our province. Very slowly. In fact – last year there were more new founded Reserves than we visited… Today I left my Leica M at…
#229 About a Picture
Another picture of my good old oaktree. The sun is still not high over the horizon – even though the time was about ten in the morning. Before lunch today it almost felt like spring was in the air. But then again – it is only the last days of January. Spring may have made…
#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…
#216 About a Picture
We were on our way to one of Swedens most famous ancient monuments, Ales Stenar (a ”ship” of stones – see picture below). In the summer this place is filled with visitors. In November – not so much. We were completely alone. It is about a kilometer long walk from the parking to the stones….
