Weekly Photo Challenge: Texture

Textures – many interpretations possible, but I found some that I really like. I guess you all have seen and felt these ones before? From harsh to smooth and delicate, from warm to cold…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Earth or the Harvest Season

The harvest season is here, and for some farmers the harvest is already in. We’ve had very high temperatures for about two weeks now, so they have been busy.

Photo from late this afternoon – the scent was lovely and the sun still hot, which comes trough in the warm colours.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

When we go to our summer house, this is the view just before we turn the last corner…we call it ”Hästviken”,. This is truly summer to me. And now, soon, this view means the final piece of summer when we say goodbye and leave for home.

Find some more summer lovin’ here.

Home again

After being totally enchanted by Scotland and the Scots – I hardly know where to begin…so much to catch up on of reading and so much to tell!

First of all, I want to thank my blogging friend Seonaid at breathofgreenair, for having us a whole delightful evening in her lovely home. Unforgettable hospitality and my admiration is neverending. More time – I think both of us wished for that…. Hopefully we will meet again – I still have not experienced the Tattoo either…

If it hadn’t been for Seonaid’s advice – we’d never had seen her beautiful Plockton near the Isle of Skye. A drizzle early in the morning, but the views truly calm and serene. Not a wind.

For some seconds – a little less rain. Light unbelievably…light and soothing.

Not many people were out this early morning. No hurry. A lifetime of Time it seemed…

Suddenly there were more colours, more life. Flowers everywhere. The rain had stopped.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts

Contrasts – impossible…couldn’t stop myself here…There are so many possibilities so it had to be a gallery. Some of them I have used before, but they work together as well! For more contrasts, click here.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Straight Lines

Straight between Sweden and Denmark! Lines are important, and sometimes they just have to be straight…these ones are for Cee’s challenge – why don’t you join in?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Between

Between...could be interpreted almost in a thousand ways, I guess…I have only got three of them here – the rest you will find in Between!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things with edges

Cee asks us for things with edges – these are pieces of edginess! The petroglyphs, or rock engravings, in Vitlycke are from 1000 – 500 BC. Ships, love and magic. We visited with the class in May.

People went to sea and they portrayed their grand ships. We went to sea as well, and at sea we found even more edgy creatures. Starfish and corals.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Floral Macros

Floral macros for Cee! It’s no secret that I love flowers…and there are more flowers here.

Cee´s Fun Foto Challenge: Water

Last week I was featured on Cee´s Photography – thank you so much, Cee – it’s an honour!

I have been away with my students for some days to Bohuslän, which is on the west coast of Sweden. Of course this means Water! One of the days we had the opportunity to go by boat with scientists from the University of Gothenburg to dig up animals and plants from the bottom of the sea for examination. And we had a magnificent evening by Gullmarsfjorden.
