#386 Sommar i landet

Det är sommar i Sverige. I södra delarna av landet är det årets hittills varmaste dag och temperaturerna går upp emot 35 grader. Riktigt så varmt är det inte i Luleå; behagliga 20 grader och lite svaga vindar. Nere vid Södra Hamnplan är det liv och rörelse. Det spelas basket, leks i fontäner och äts…

#381 A church on the plain

Today I grabbed my camera and went for a drive through the ”Östgöta Plain” not far from my home. The weather was nice today – but much colder than it looks. The spring is here – only not today. The only plan was to have a cup of coffee in the small city of Vadstena….

#380 Cold morning

Early morning in march. Cold night. The sun is on it’s way up. Everything is covered with frost. People are rushing for work. A bicycle is on hold in a park. A restaurant is wating for spring. Morning mist is still around. Black and white. Beautiful.

#377 The following day…

After a saturday that was best shown in black and white we had a colorful sunday. Still cold – but the sun can change everything. A seven kilometer hike in the countryside almost gave us a sense of spring – but I am confident that the snow will return for real at least for a…

#376 Icy Conditions

Saturday was a really cold day. Low temperature, snow and wind tried to force us indoors…but we were stubborn… I shot in color – but a day like this looks better in black and white. All three pictures are from the small city Vadstena by Lake Vättern. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 Biogon

I saw the lone woman kneeling at the alter. Managed to hold the camera level and still and snap a picture. Gothenburg Cathedral. Leica M7 and Zeiss 2,8/35 BiogonIllford HP5

#372 About a Picture

I was having a [very] small cup of coffee at an equally small café in Lund a while ago. I liked the things in the window beside me. Picked up my camera and snapped a shot. It wasn’t until I got the film back as I saw the man in the window. Surprise :-). Leica…

#369 About a Picture

Walked past this red beauty today in central Linköping. I didn’t have the camera ready and at first I walked right by it. As I passed it I turned around and took another look. Then I saw the lamp that was mounted on the handle bars and was sold. I had to have a picture….

#368 About a Picture

We were out hiking along the coast when we came up to this house. The coast line was dominated by stones and the house seemed to have been built by stones from the shore below. I had my M7 with me on this hike with a 35mm lens and a 50 ASA black and white…

#367 A Leica M10 and a 50 in the Swedish winter

There are a couple of days each winter that stand out. Yesterday was one of those. The low sun was shining through a thin layer of clouds. No wind and minus ten degrees Celsius. The Leica M10 and the Zeiss 50 Planar accompanied me as we went for a walk nearby our home. We passed…

#361 Look up

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…
