Time For Colours and Reflections

We have not had much sun up here in Skane, where I live, so I feel lucky to have caught a few glimpses of the glory around me this autumn. I will share some of my favourite captures in this post. I hope you have a wonderful autumn- or spring – as well!

This day there was a chance to get some glimpses of the sun. So, I headed up the winding road to Hovdala.

All the pretty cows watching me from uphill. Comforting – cows always give me a good feeling. I hoped so much for some rays to come through.

The view from up here is not so bad. I go here every season to enjoy. Even the lake can be seen from here, Lake Finja.

Rays much longed for – came when my car was parked and I was hiking towards Hammarmölledamm!

And this, was what I got. Every shot had to come when there was a rift in the clouds, and finally Totti was very tired of me…despite his almost neverending patience…

Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: It’s All About Nature

It’s all about nature...that could be my own motto as well as Cee’s challenge – Nature is my life and greatest interest. So…I had some difficulties in choosing photo. Finally I decided as follows. Japan inspired? Photographed yesterday, being the last day of colours here. Rain and wind today.

 

Thursday Thoughts

I have been thinking…but I have also been away the whole day. Maybe this was the last fine day of autumn colours – rain and wind coming our way…So, I went on a photo tour. I hope you will enjoy a couple of the the photos! All of them are from the little village Vittsjö, about 45 minutes from my home.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

Reflektioner – kan innebära så olika saker, men i WordPress kan var och en välja sin egen tolkning.

Reflections – could be interpreted in many ways, but in WordPress Photo Challenge you can choose your very own…These three different ones speak for themselves…

…but, what you see could maybe depend on what kind of glasses you put on…

…and also on the very little things in life…

…and maybe what mood you are in just then, in that particular moment

Camera lies all the time. It’s all it does is lie, because when you choose this moment instead of this moment, when you…the moment you’ve made a choice, you’re lying about something larger. ”Lying” is an ugly word. I don’t mean lying. But any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same.
