Medieval times...in technicolor!
There are many medieval markets and fairs during the summer months in Sweden, but this weekend was the first time I've attended the one in Lund, Sweden. It was a rather low-key affair compared to some of the larger hooplas I've seen, but I liked that. It gave the visitors space to actually move around and look at the wares and things on sale, as well as the various "medieval" activities you could try out, like axe throwing, archery or even shooting with a siege engine (yep...a real ballista...even if it was rather small).
Concert and cars, lots of cars
“Take less photos...take better photos!” That was the phrase that I started out this year with, and while it feels like I’ve done just that so far this last week has been a direct contradiction of that. At least the first part (hopefully not the last part).
Out on the streets...again! :-)
A Saturday afternoon is well spent with fellow photographers taking in an interesting exhibition and then doing a leisurely photowalk through the familiar streets of Malmö, Sweden. A surprising amount of keepers among the photos too, which is something to be happy about!
Sakura in Copenhagen
Sometimes I wonder how many times you have to do something for it to become a tradition. Two? Three? More? Anyway...this weekend marked my fourth time visiting the Sakura festival in Copenhagen, Denmark to photograph the blossoming cherry trees, the performances and mostly the people visiting the festival.
Seeing animals in the woods
I've been seeing animals in the woods...and no, I am not talking about deer, or squirrels or even birds (although I saw those too). At least not this time. No...I'm talking about the kind of animal...or creature shapes you can see in tree trunks and fallen branches. I guess it is a bit like looking at clouds and seeing familiar shapes and animals there. It's all in the way your brain and eyes are tuned into seeing it.
Going "viral"
For some reason this image of mine went utterly viral on Google+ in the last week. I'm by no means the most popular person on that social network (according to the stats I've got about 1300 followers, which is not that impressive given that most of those are probably bots...but that's okay. I enjoy my time there anyway. Hunting and gathering followers has never been my goal on any social network.
Never far from the sea
When you live in Skåne, Sweden like I do you're never really that far away from the ocean. I don't see it every day, but it is a nice feeling to know that it is only a short drive there to get the salty smell in your lungs and getting to see the vast expanse of water in front of you.
