It is getting dark early now. I arrived to Stockholm around three o’clock and the light was incredible. I walked to my hotel with the camera in my hand. I decided to keep my eyes – and my lens – looking up today… [Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 Biogon]

#360 About a Picture
A bicycle is leaning against the wall of one of the houses at ”Kosta Glasbruk” – one of the most known Glassworks in Sweden. Inside are the working quarters. The workday has just began. I can imagine that the vase in the right window is more than I can afford. Here it is sharing a…
#347 It’s dark again
Up in the northern parts of Sweden the days are getting shorter and shorter. I took a short walk around Luleå yesterday evening. It is still only October – which means that the sun is up between 8 am and 5.30 pm. When we come into october the sun is only up between 10 am…
#342 One of these evenings
Gothenburg in the middle of August. The light in the evening was fantastic. It was one of these evenings you wished would last for ever. At one of the little squares there was music playing. People were dancing and just having a good time. Finally the light was gone. The city went to sleep and…
#333 Black and White
In this post I go wild in black and white – again… I am back in Copenhagen again. I really can’t find a place in Sweden that matches Copenhagen when it comes to shooting city and street photos. Lucky for me that Copenhagen and Denmark is close by… For the moment I feel very much…
#332 About a picture
The bridge ”Frydenlundsbrua” in Narvik. I can imagine that the decorations are med by a local elementary school. Below the bridge is the iron ore railway from Kiruna in Sweden – or as it is called in Norway ”Ofotbanen”.
#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…
#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…
