#354 Street photography in Lund

Lund is a great city for street photography – or maybe urban photography is more correct? What ever it is called, Lund can fill more than one roll of film. Pictures from my [now sold] Leica M3 with a 50mm Zeiss Planar and an Ilford HP5 black and white film. I really liked that old…

#353 Old Lund

More pictures from my first M7-roll. They are from one of my favourite Swedish cities; Lund. The city is old and was Danish until 1658, when Scania (Skåne in Swedish) became a part of Sweden. I lived just outside Lund back in the mid 1990:s and recently my daughter moved here. The circle is complete….

#286 About a Picture

The cormorants are lined up and watching the ship on it´s way to Copenhagen. The sea is calm in the early morning. The next morning it may be a storm or freezing fog. The ship will pass and the cormorants will watch it. I only saw it this morning – but I can see it…

#276 A Swedish Paradise

Just north of the small town Simrishamn, at the Swedish south coast, you find one of the most beautiful beaches in Sweden – Knäbäckshusen (the houses of Knäbäcken). To mee it looks like a paradise island. Well…at least until you notice that the water is considerbly colder than it would be at a paradise island…and…

#274 A late evening by the sea

The little village Vik by the Baltic Sea is an old fishermans village. We took a walk down to the small harbor one evening last week. The village is poorly lit during the dark hours. The streets are so narrow that it almost feels like we are inside the houses as we walk by. I…

#273 About a Picture

Early morning in the little village Vik, at the Swedish south coast. The fog is really thick. We are heading for the sea…but we can’t see it. Leica M10 and Summilux 50mm Asph

#272 Leica Hike

We have taken a couple of days off from work to hike in one of my favourite parts of Sweden; Österlen. Yesterday was a fantastic day – almost like summer. We started off with a 12 km hike around the ”Hills of Brösarp”. My Leica M10 is here for the first time and it is…

#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….

#212 Stenshuvud National Park

Our recent trip to Österlen, in the very south of Sweden, included a visit to the National Park Stenshuvud (direct translation; The head of a stone). This was our first time here, so we did not know what to expect… I think it is fair to say that we didn’t expect that much of our…

#211 When things don’t work out…

I am sure you have experienced it. A fantastic journey, beautiful views and many warm feelings. Pictures everywhere. The compositions never ends. Maybe the ultimate photo experience. Then you get home and load the pictures in to your computer. Suddenly the feelings are all gone. The shots are flat, the horizon is slanted and the…

#133 The Sea

There is something special about the sea. Maybe it is because I have moved away from it? I lived in Helsingborg my first 25 years – a city also called ”The Pearl of the straight” (…at least by the locals). In 1997 I moved away from the sea – and I have missed it ever…

#94 The Streets of Lund

Last week we spend a day in Lund, in the southern part of Sweden.  Lund was founded in the 10:th century and has a lot of history. When the city was founded it was a part of Denmark. By the time it became the most important city of Denmark. It was not until 1658 the…
