Took my bike for a ride the other day. Had my camera with me in case of finding a picture along the way. The problem was that I had zero inspiration. The nature around me was starting to show signs of autumn – still nothing really caught my eye. Finally I stopped to have a…

#269 Leica Summilux 1,4/50mm Asph
The Summilux 50mm Aspherical is one of my dream lenses of all times. I bought one (used) a couple of months ago – after selling a row of lenses I almost never used. I have been using it as my main lens since then… I prefer to use the lens wide open – why else…
#268 Lighthouse Photography
A classic Swedish Lighthouse type ”Heidenstam” at Kapelludden on the eastern part of Öland (the second largest Swedish island). The Lighthouse was put in to service in 1872 and is still going strong. It was renovated in 2021 and is as good as new. We had this as a turning point on a small road…
#267 Fine Art
Had this idea that I should try and shoot cleaner and more ”Fine Artish” pictures. It has occured to me that my pictures often are quite messy. I want to try and shoot pictures that leaves the viewer calm and relaxed. Made this my mission the other night as I stayed a night in Swedens…
#263 A B&B in my taste
The next chapter in the series ”Unexpected Experiences” is written. This time it is a story of a small Bed & Breakfast in the Swedish countryside. And a mustery. And a music scene. But mostly it is about a dream of a man and his wife. A dream of creating a new life to an…
#262 Kyrkö Mosse Car Graveyard
Still in the deep forests of Småland. The place is called ”Kyrkö Mosse”. A sign beside the road; ”Car Graveyard”. A small parking is half full of cars and motor cycles. A handful of visitors can be seen between the trees. Nothing else is visible from the parking – we have to walk a little…

#260 Vacation in Sweden
We are spending our summer home in Sweden this year [as well]. Since covid struck the world, we have chosen to see our own country instead of going abroad. The more we see, the more we want to see. There are so many fantastic places that are more or less only a couple of hours…
#259 Golden Times
You may have heard about the Swedish band Roxette. It was a huge success in the 1990:s and was known all around the world. They had hits like ”It must have been love” (theme from ”Pretty Woman”) and ”Joyride”. The band was built around Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson from Halmstad, Sweden. Sadly Marie passed…

She was just standing there, in the middle of the lavenders. Just had to take a picture. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2/50 ZM Planar
#257 About a Picture
From a distance the island looked like a ghost island. As we got closer we saw what had happened. Cormorants. The trees were full of them. In a way it had become a ghost island. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 ZM Biogon
#256 Lunch Music
I was walking through central Linköping during my lunchbreak today, as I heard a brassband somewhere in the vicinity. I followed the sound for a while and there it was. It turned out to be ”Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker” (the Swedish name of the band) playing under the lead of two student conductors. People passing by stopped…
