  • I took my 365 (or what I intended to be such) during the day today so I could pack my camera, ready for tomorrow. I don’t like last minute packing, that’s just an invitation to forget things so I prefer to pack early and then in the morning I just need to doublecheck I have…

  • Stopped by the lake on the way to work. This is one of the many things I like about autumn, when the wisps of smoke rise from the water. The fog was moving quickly, and these lines of fog were nearly not as nice when I pointed my camera at them, than they were a…

    Another morning with frost. It makes the landscape look like Mother Nature moved the saturation slider way to left!

  • It was frosty this morning, just like forecast. The effect in my garden was immediate and the cosmos flowers in particular had suffered. Yesterday when I came home, I was looking at the cosmos flowers and saw a lot of flowers that had just started to bloom, but they don’t tolerate subzero temperatures at all, so…

  • Yesterday when I came home from Loos, I made it back just before a weather front hit Föne. The wind picked up enormously and the trees were swinging like crazy and I had to check that I didn’t leave anything loose on the porch that would fly away. Today I saw that the two flower…

  • I had an introduction into geology today. A group of us learned about the origin of rocks, and tips and tricks in finding rocks containing interesting minerals and the excursion finished with a visit in the Loosgrufvan mine. Ironically, I never managed to visit the old mine during the seven years I lived in Loos, but now…

  • Another warm and sunny autumn day, it was an absolute delight to be out walking. I just wish the scenery would have been more inspiring… I miss the mountains already! But, this is where it ends I think. Cooler air coming in tomorrow so it will feel like a proper autumn. A lot of mushrooms…

  • So I went for a walk like usual, shot some lame pictures along the way, and the one I’m using for the 365 is the one I took when I was almost back home. As usual. Why do I bother with the walks anyway…? Oh yeah, to get to my step goal. Achieved.

  • Pier

    The other day when I told about the new beach in Ljusdal, I couldn’t take pictures of the pier because there were people on it. No such problems today.

  • Here it finally is, the much talked about blurry cow! Having done panning and shaking, I used the zoom technique this time. Ideally, you would be shooting from a tripod to keep the camera steady when you rotate the zoom ring but I did this handheld. After all, the goal was to create a blurry…
