Heiroglyphs

"Heiroglyphs" in water.

Not actually heiroglyphs, this is the remains of some water-living plants in late autumn.

The monster

Not far from home, there are a series of bollards, one of which I have featured previously. This one has been painted… I don’t know who by, or why, but I actually like the result: an otherwise drab, functional, piece of concrete has become a work of art.

This picture is the result of two “exposures” from the same RAW file: one to make the sky look good and one to make a reasonable bollard. The two images were then blended together using Gimp, a free image manipulation program.

Cold

The temperature when I took this picture was only just above freezing, but the water looked colder!

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.
