[Post in Swedish – English summary in the end…] I slutet av mars i år var jag ”hemma” i Helsingborg igen för en dag. I år är det 28 år sedan jag flyttade från staden för att bli Östgöte. Då var det väl tänkt att bli en begränsad tid, men saker blir inte alltid som…

#335 Around Lake Vättern
A couple of days ago we went for a drive around the second largest lake in Sweden; Lake Vättern. We made a number of stops – but there are of course much more to see… I will let the pictures speak for themselves…
#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…
#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…
#258 Coming home
It is always the same. No matter if it has been three days (as it was this time) or three weeks. When I take the ferry from Helsingør (Denmark), I get the shivers as we pass into the beautiful port of Helsingborg (Sweden). The trip may have been fantastic – but when we pass this…
#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…
#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…
#230 About a Picture
The sun is shining low between the buildings. It is almost impossible to see down the street. People are reduced to silhouettes in the strong hard light. But they don’t care. They are just enjoying the beautiful day in Stockholm…
#227 About a Picture
Another year has passed. The traditional Swedish ”Semla” is in every café again. Originally it was only served on special tuesday – Shrove Tuesday – 47 days before Eastern, but now they can be found more or less from Christmas Day. I try and only eat one or two per year, so it can remain…
#201 Day two
Day two in our weekend in the Swedish mountain areas. Rain promised – but we were lucky. A six hour hike with about ten minutes of rain. Windy and low clouds but much better than expected. The 35 mm lens proved to be a perfect companion on a hike like this. No need to bring…
#190 The Tele-Elmarit and an EVF
A few years ago I bought a Canadian made Leica Tele-Elmarit 2,8/90 from 1979. It was a good deal – at least that was what I thought. The lens turned out to flare quite a bit in some lighting situations. Since I use it on a Leica M – as supposed – I can’t see…
#183 The Icebreakers are resting
Three of the Swedish Icebreakers at rest in the late summer evening. The three ships of the ”Atle-class” were built in the 1970:s and are soon to be replaced by new ships, if all goes according to plan. When I was about ten years old, there was this tv-program about a reaserch journey to the…
