Embraced by the sunset. English summary under the photos. Äntligen. Det har varit hektiska veckor igen och vädret har inte varit på topp när jag väl har varit ledig. Men igår blev längtan för stor. Trots förkylning och att jag nästan var liksom ”klar” för kvällen, så jag bestämde mig spontant att ge mig iväg till Elfvik för att fånga solnedgången. Det ångrar jag inte. Jag blev helt uppslukad av den. Så liten kände jag mig, omfamnad av det flödande varma och mäktiga ljuset, men i själen var känslan stor och trygg. Där och då glömde jag allt annat och var i stunden. Jag tog in allt och lät det fylla mig. Och då kom den där inre friden som jag bara kan få när jag är vid vattnet i en överjordisk solnedgång en kväll i mars. Den stunden kommer aldrig igen. Och det är det som är så fantastiskt med naturen. Den bjuder på […]

A wonderful day. That’s all. English summary under the photos. Vilken härlig lördag. Jag hade en av mina bästa vänner på besök över natten och vi bara njöt av dagen. Vi vaknade faktiskt tidigt trots att det var lördag och vi hade kunnat sova länge. Men vid sjutiden kände vi båda att vi hade sovit klart. Ju äldre jag blir, desto mer morgonmänniska blir jag! Till saken hör förstås också tidiga vardagsmorgnar som vänjer kroppen vid att vakna tidigt på morgonen och somna tidigt på kvällen. Men jag tycker om det. Jag vill egentligen inte sova bort halva dagen utan vill utnyttja dagen så mycket som möjligt. Vi åt en lång god frukost och pratade om allt mellan himmel och jord som väninnor gör, medan dagen vaknade utanför med strålande sol och en klarblå himmel. Inom mig spred sig en härlig vårkänsla. Det underbara solljuset som vi är så svältfödda på så här […]

Time for this week’s photos in Jen’s and my photo poject painting with light. This time I wanted to play with light and water. I have noticed when I shower that the light from the window creates a nice stripe effect on the water from the shower so I decided to play with that. These photos are the result of backlit shower water and variation of shutterspeed, and depth of field, for creating the stripes of water contrasting the square pattern of the background tiles, and having fun in Photoshop to create the colour effects. These pojects to me is about playing around and having fun and learning by doing and experimenting. For artistic quality I recommend Jen’s photos 😉

Today I had the most amazing photo walk in my Elfvik paradise. Even though I only took a couple of photos. The sun sparkles in the water inspried me to film instead of taking photos. This film will be up tomorrow. I am teasing a bit! 😉 Building up suspension. Building up expectations. So you are now at the edge of your seats and expect a masterpiece no less. Right?? 😉 But in all honesty it is just a bunch of clips of ”moving photos” so to speak. I like the addition movement gives to a scene that a still photograph can’t convey. I also like how the film media allows you to edit and add music to the scenes. An extra dimension. I took some lazy snapshots with the mobile phone when I just wanted a quick photo to document the walk. Taking out the camera and prepare it would take too […]
On my photo walk on Sunday I got lost! So I didn’t get to take as many photos as I wanted and the weather was very dull so the short time I could take photos I could only get a few for Jen’s and my tree project on Thursday. For the project, the ”flat” grey weather worked pretty well though. I browsed through my folders on my computer and found photos from up to over five years ago. It is fun to look back. Because I can see development! The photos I take now are actually even better than photos I took only a year ago. That makes me so happy to see that I can improve. I thought I’d show a couple of older photos showing parts of the walk or bike ride to work. This little red house is situated near the waterline in the little tiny water of […]

Jen’s and my tree project continues. Last week’s theme was texture in black and white. This week black and white in general. I love black and white photography. It immediately gives the photos a whole new atmosphere about them when you remove colour. I also think that winter time is a good season for black and white because the season offers a graphic element to the landscape that you don’t get the same way during the other seasons. The graphic-”ness” of winter, trees and black and white is a good combination in my eyes. Ok, so here they come. My two project photos of the week. 🙂 This first one is a winter version of a scene I have posted before in autumn. I like how I find new details the more I look at the photo. The second one: I am rather pleased with the photos this time. I […]
Thanks. I think I'm doing reasonably well, even if there have been many restrictions, if you have to change some…

The pandemics that started last year was something completely unexpected and unknown that changed so much our lives. It was…
Hugs right back! What would I have done without you! ❤️
You have had such a tough time of it, your strength and determination are such an inspiration. I am so…
