…in autumn, winter light. Some days the light is so special that the landscape speaks to you in another voice.
I was driving home, and when turning left over the familiar meadow landscape, the light changed. I stopped the car and went out to enjoy the short play of light. Intensity, softness, strong brown and orange.
The familiar houses, trees, barns, animals – everything seem to lift from the ground and soar towards you.
Looking back from where I came, the view included one of the oldest churches in the Nordic countries, Gumlösa Church, from the 12th century.
Maybe you think it is all very ordinary, but to me it is not. Living close to an open landscape is almost like living by the sea. The light changes every hour, and so does your view and interpretation of the landscape.
Soon the frost will cover these rich brown meadows, and give me another interpretation…but today I enjoy just This magic light.
In the header picture, I feel the sky almost mirrors the ground and the grass. I waited some ten minutes, silent and quiet, in the middle of the landscape.



It is indeed all about the light….
The colours are nice but even a slight touch of sun would improve the scenes very much. I’m getting still more convinced that without sun the pictures will never have this special glamour.
True. But winter here means almost no sun at all!
Similarly in Poland. Grey, wet and windy – this is our late autumn and some winter time.
An ordinary but peaceful Tuesday by the looks of it! Wonderful serene landscapes.
Thank you- very peaceful!
Underbara landskapsbilder med ett härligt ljus. Instämmer i att bo i öppna landskap är att jämföra med att bo vid havet.
Tack så mycket, Anita. Ljuset är allt.
