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…
#181 The Bridge
There is this bridge outside Luleå that I have wanted to shoot for a long time. The bridge is called ”Old Gäddvik Bridge” and is a classic construction that is often seen in Sweden. I just haven’t had a good opportunity to stop and make something nice of the bridge. This time I was lucky….
#173 The end is near – the start is around the corner
Luleå, tuesday evening. The students of the class of 2022 is gathering for their Prom at the City Hotel. Proud parents are watching from a distance. The party will go on all night. Soon enough the real life begins.
#163 Winter photos from Vadstena
A night with constant snowfall in our part Sweden. There was lot of snow to move before we could get our car out of the garage. Drove for about half an hour to the small town of Vadstena. In my bag I had packed my digital M and my three lenses. Started off with some…
#137 About a picture
We spent the weekend in a small Swedish village called Brösarp. The village is very small – it has about 700 inhabitants – but still we saw at least four small Antique Shops. We did some “window-shopping” in the evening and i shot some pictures. You can see me on the left in the window…
