Black and White
Trees with freshly fallen snow.
These are essentially the same trees as in one of my previous posts: Green.
The first snow for this winter, it didn’t stay long, unfortunately. However, I am confident we will soon have snow permanently on the ground.
3 years
North & South Photoblog now celebrates its third year of existence, and we feel obliged to celebrate this with a retrospective. Not with our best pictures through the years, but with pictures taken in November 2006-2008.
Originally, our idea was to use the photoblog for a year, and then cease operations. During this time we would publish one nature photograph each every week, to show the differences between northern and southern Sweden. This was because we realized that most of the pictures would be from our immediate surroundings.
Nu firar Fotobloggen North&South 3år, detta måste vi givetvis fira med en tillbakablick. Inte en tillbakablick med våra bästa bilder genom tiderna, utan med bilder tagna under november månad 2006 – 2008.
Tanken vara att vi skulle köra 1 år och sedan lägga ner projeketet. Målet var att vi skulle ta vars en bild (naturmotiv) i veckan och lägga upp i bloggen, tanken var att visa skilnaderna mellan norra och södra Sverige. Största delen av bilderna är tagna i respektive närområde.
The eye, again….
Horse.
I do not know whether or not this is the same horse I have photographed earlier (http://fotoblogg.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/the-eye/). And I don’t really care: I find horses a pleasant object to photograph. At the same time, they can be rather frustrating: they tend to not stand still long enough for me to point my camera at them, focus, take care of teh exposure settings and get around to actually realesing the shutter.
This particular horse was quite interesting: s-/he was very curious, and before I even got close to his/her pen, s-/he was making it very obvious that I was interesting. I couldn’t stand within half a metre of the pen without having him/her poke his/her head over or under the fence trying to smell me, to nibble at my trouser legs or simply push me around a bit. And I could easily hold the horse steady, if I wanted to. Unfortunately, that left me with no hand to set the focus on my camera…
There were a number of other horses around for me to photograph, but this one was by far the most curious about me. Most of the others approached me when I stood next to the enclosure fence, and would interact with me.
