Lighthouse in the morning light

I was on my way back from a morning walk to the dunes. With the morning sun in my back I needed to turn around to fully enjoy the sunrise. Here is a photo of the lighthouse I passed.

From the bus

This photo is taken with my old iPhone 6 through a bus window. The resolution is nothing to cheer for, but thanks to the bright spring sun and the calm water I think it turned out pretty nice anyway.

Donut of Fire

Me and my son were browsing through some pictures. When we came to the pictures from the fire show on Klong Jark Beach, he said it looked like fire donuts. And I guess he's right.

Stairway to Heaven

It wasn't as warm as it might appear. It was actually quite windy and cold. The view of the horizon was nice though. For this shot however, I turned my back to the sea and faced the grass covered dunes.

Morning Speed

One early October morning I set out to capture the morning sun over the river. I did capture the stilless of the water in the morning light as planned. But I also turned around and captured the speeding cars in the light of dawn.

Swing on the Beach

This is another picture from Coconut Beach in Khao Lak. The beach is lined with palm trees, the sand is soft, the water is warm and the swing is free. Some very good reasons for a visit. It's a bit far away though...

The Golden Guys

It was probably one of the hottest days during our visit in Phuket. But we were, strangely enough, rather tired of lying on the beach. Instead, we decided it was a good idea to sit in a hot taxi for an hour or so for a trip to the Big Buddha. It was worth it though. Except for the big one, we also found a couple of his friends.

Light up the night!

This was the start signal of the fire show we were lucky to enjoy on Koh Lanta. Even though I was sitting about 10 meters away from these guys, I could really feel the heat from that fire blast. That was quite cool! (Cool, not cold. :)

Colorful Bokeh

I'm not sure why, but I have a soft spot for bokeh pictures. Maybe it's the soft light or, in this case, the many colors that are reflected in the water. I think this photo is from a photowalk I did in Stockholm, but I'm actually not quite sure.

Glowing Trees

I used to experiment more with photo editing apps on my phone than I do now. This picture is one of the more extreme results. Some autumn trees made a bit more glowing.

Fairytale forest

I took this photo many years ago with my phone. I think it was an iPhone 4 or something. At that time I often played around with my photos in different apps and this time I got a kind of fairytale painting effect. I think it turned out kinda cool.

Not quite full

It's not quite full, but I still find it quite nice. If I remember correctly, this is taken on Koh Lipe, Thailand, during our backpacking trip.

Rainbow cloud

It was a midwinter afternoon and we were just about to enter the train station. On our way in we saw this colorful pastell rainbow cloud. I've never seen anything quite like it and I think it was rather cool.

Memories of ice

When I look at this photo, I can almost still feel the cold. This is what the lake Sommen looks like during our Swedish winter. I'm not sure that we dared to cross the lake that day...

Autumn Painting

A few years ago I used to play around quite a lot with different photo editing apps on my iPhone. I don't do that all that much anymore, but I think I should. I just found this old photo and I think it almost looks like a painting of colorful autumn leaves.

The Swedish Idyll

It was too early in the season, so the boats were still out of the water. But the water was quite calm, the sky blue and the air had that spring freshness. Sometimes I ask myself why I live up here in the cold of the north. I guess this picture is one of the answers.

Arlington National Cemetery

At the airport on our trip to Washington DC a few years ago, we got the tip from a fellow traveler to visit Arlington National Cemetery. It is a very special place and we were overwhelmed by how big it was.
