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 birches
Several birches showing off their autumn colours.
When out on my last boating trip before winter strikes, I managed to take this photograph. The temperature was not far from freezing, so I am very glad I haf my camera on a tripod…. All right, the outdoor temperature might have been +7C, but it’s a bit too cold for me to hold a camera without gloves.
This picture is deffinitely not within walking distance from home: it’s taken from a small island in the Umeå river delta. In summer it might be possible to swin to the island, but it’s nothing I recommend!
Autumn gold / Höstbild
Autumn birch.
This is not my “usual” birch, but not far from it either.
