Cold winternights in the north...


















Its getting cold in northern Sweden! When the temperature reaches - 20 degrees C its not easy to handle a camera, belive me! Its to bad because the trees gets this amazing frost-coating and looking up at the shimmering white branches against the dark deep-blue sky is breathtaking.

Wine on a wednesday?



















Let me just clarify here.
Spending the day pouring wine back and forth on a wednesday - should be ok right?
Drinking wine on a wednesday? - Well, let's say you´ve gotta have a good reason!
...It´s at least nice to look at isn't it? :)

Winter is here...

Rainy night from inside

Have the day off

Abstract Autumn View



















On my way to the market I walked by this beautiful tree. Dispite I was in a hurry I just couldn't resist stop taking this picture. It was late in the afternoon and the the sun-light were straining through the leaves in the most perfect way, leaving this beautiful golden light showing the stucture of the branches. Autumn is really somthing special...

Piano motion

Waterdrop














Isn´t it amazing how different the world can look when you freeze a motion? It is also a lot of fun! You should try it! To freeze a motion you will have to use a fast shutterspeed. Using a flash is highly recommended when taking pictures of drops like this one, otherwise you need lots of light to reach a shutterspeed fast enough to get it sharp. Also make sure you set the focus where the drop will fall. Use manual focus, put somthing as a guideline to fucus on (for example your fingertip) where the drop falls.
Good luck!

The amazing power of nature

Nature is repainting














How beautiful isn´t nature this time a year? The leaves is just so pure and rich colored.
Nature is repainting!

Some scenes just catch your attention...














So, I went out for a little walk last night when I walked by this lonely bike leand to the wall. I don´t know exactly what it was about the picture that inspired me to take this photo but it really caught my eye.
There is somthing about it, isn´t it?

"Compact living"

Lots of fruit!

Spring is here!















Finally! The spring has arrived and before you´ll know it you´ll be seeing things like this again. The spring is the time of year when everything comes to life again after a well-deserved winter rest. Flowers will blossom and the wildlife will yet again show great enthusiasm over the new year that just begun. I´m convinced that the wildlife will take advantage of the time in the very best way and I hope you will as well!

Happy Easter!

"Behind the scenes"














The place you´re not supposed to see. "Behind the scenes". That´s where I met this lonely man a late Saturday night. In the basement of a large public building. It is cold, damp and dark.
Most of you don´t go there because it´s hidden from you. Hidden, behind a nice facade.
Maybe you don´t know the place exists.
You are not supposed to see it because you problably don´t want to see whats there.
Some of you knows it is there but you wish you didn´t.You close your eyes,
and slowly walks away from the harsh reality and you are really, really happy that it is not you that lives "behind the scenes".
