The next stop on my short journey to Germany was the small seaside resort Travemünde. The small town is located on the mouth of the river Trave by the Lübeck Bay. I visited during what I suppose can be called pre-season. There was not that many people on the streets – but it is easy…

#255 About a Picture
A lonley bicycle – probably stolen – has been standing against the wall at our small train station for a week or so. I liked the blue, black, silver and orange colors against the gray concret wall. The bicycle is a Swedish Mustang… Leica MP240 and Zeiss Biogon 2,8/35 ZM
#246 Another Bridge
I like bridges. I found me a nice one today in the city of Norrköping.
#237 Too easy?
Another beautiful day, another hike. Todays trip went to the castle of Bjärka Säby, south of Linköping. It may have been sunny – but it was pretty cold. It was a short hike – about 5 km – but we found a place we have to revisit when spring comes. As you know [if you…
#235 Light after sunset
Arrived to Uppsala tonight just after sunset. The sky was glowing in fantastic colors. Luckily I never leave the house without my camera. The two towers of Uppsala Cathedral are silhouetted on the sky. When I moved the camera slightly to the right, the colors were different – beautifully reflected in the windows of the…
#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…
#226 Frost in a different way
It is a – nowadays – typical on and off winter in southern Sweden. For now we are having a couple of minus centigrades. The good thing about that is that the frost is making the landscape really beatutiful. We were on our way south when I saw this fantastic church – Säby church. I…
#225 About a Picture
When you stay at Scandic Hotel Swania in Trollhättan you may be in for a surprise if you are new in town. Just outside your window you hear a bell and some strange sounds. Then there is this low frequency ”thump…thump…thump…” that seem to get closer and closer. Then you look outside the window…and see…
#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…
#203 The way home
Seven hours in the car today, to get back home. The first four proved to be hard for a photographer. There were so many fantastic shots that I just had to drive by. But here are two shots from one of three short stops…
#194 The Garage
We arrived to the hotel late at night. The parking garage was old and not a place you felt totally safe in. It was poorly lit and only half full. We left the car and went to the hotel for a nights sleep. Then the next day, the garage showed a totally different face. It…
#192 Chocolat
Sometimes you find a place that you just like. You keep returning time after time, just to feel good. In Sweden we call them ”Smultronställen” – I am not sure of if there is a good expression for it in the English language – there are probably several. Sweet spot? Hidden gem? Anyway…it can be…
