WPC: Reward

Last spring we drove up to the middle of Sweden to see the cranes dancing at Hornborgasjön. We managed to find the perfect day – absolutely clear and sunny. During the following night, we waited for two hours for the more than 19000 cranes to return from their night quarters to the shores of the lake. Seeing them flying in at 5 a.m was our fantastic and unforgettable reward.

WPC: Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is something you learn to see if you haven’t got this ”seeing” from the start. I believe that the more photos you take – and study other photographers’ works – the easier you will find your own ”seeing” of what looks best. Then it doesn ‘t have to follow any rules at all…really.

My try for the WordPress challenge is tulips and a leaf from my ”Russian” begonia. Click here for more entries.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry

Symmetry is a phenomenon soothing to the eye and soul. My two symmetries are from Denmark. The first one is a roof in the picturesque town of Köge and the second one is from the train to Köge.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale

6 februari, 20156 februari, 2015 / Leya / 49 kommentarer

New Zealand’s great glaciers, Franz Josef and Fox make their visitors feel exceptionally small. The Franz Josef (Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere in Māori) is a 12 km (7.5 mi) long glacier located on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Together with the Fox Glacier 20 km (12 mi) to the south, it is unique in descending from the Southern Alps to less than 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level, amidst the greenery and lushness of a temperate rainforest.

Walking up to the glaciers was very easily done, and we were greatly rewarded. I have walked glaciers in several countries in Europe – but these two are the most remarkable ones of all. Imagine the rainforest coming down almost to the floor of the glacier, and you could touch them both from the path!

The photos show the scale very clearly, but the feeling of walking there is impossible to convey…you have to be there yourself.
