Lugn i stormen!

 Några häftiga vindar kom på besök i Malmö. De drog vidare till andra som, kanske, vill vara med om dom.

Var tar tiden vägen?

 Bilden här nedan visar Margareta till vänster, och Ebon bakom henne. Detta var vid ett tillfälle när kameran hängde med till klassen jag gick i runt 1982 (minns inte exakt när jag gick på vårdskolan i Helsingborg). Det var en kul tid året som kursen pågick. Och kursen hette GPU och PPU (utbildning inom omsorgsverksamheterna, närmare bestämt att arbeta med handikappade personer). Jag lämnade den inriktningen av arbete 1983 för att sadla om fullständigt, det tog på mina krafter fullständigt, och istället bli vaktmästare i ett storkök på Helsingborgs lasarett.

De första åren mellan juni 1980 när jag flyttade till Helsingborg och fram till cirka 1984 var absolut de bästa i mitt liv så här långt. Många positiva minnen från dessa år.

Fågelskådning i Landskrona!

 Ja vad ska man säga, också ett sätt att spana fågel på.

Svart OCH vitt

 

Husie mosse i vinterskrud

 Idag var det vitt och grant ute. Snön hade lagt ett knappt dm tjockt lager av sin vara här i Husie. Blev lite inspirerad att bege mig ut med kameran. Det är inte som förr, då jag gav mig ut flera gånger i veckan, och nu får jag vara glad om det sker en gång i månaden.

Och nu får du i alla fall se bilder från Husie mosse, en halvt anlagd park i östra Malmö. Parken utmed sjön är anlagd medan den norra delen och dungarna i ändarna av sjön funnits innan dess.

Jag börjar med färgbilderna, för att sen visa, en del av dom även i svartvitt.

Denna park var en av anledningarna till att jag flyttade ut till Toftängen.

Hoppas att de inspirerar dig att gå ut i Guds vackra natur idag.

Den som väntar får se . . .

 . . . hur denna blomma tillsammans med andra kompisar visar sig i mars/ april nästa år

Turning Torso in sunset

 The house is certainly special. I've heard that architects avoid photography, but I don't know if that's true?

Snow, snow and more snow

 Some winters there can be no snow at all, at least in southern Sweden. And second year very much.

We'll see how this year's amount of snow can turn out.

Soon we are approaching the peak of the autumn colours

 One of the most beautiful seasons, in my opinion, is autumn. Maybe because then the autumn cold starts to bite the skin a little extra, but above all because it explodes in every imaginable color out in our forests.

These two photos show an incredibly beautiful forest just 7.5 km as the crow flies from my home. Should visit the forest (the Beech forest by Torup's castle) which is still easily accessible.

Recommended to all of you!

For those without a car, there are bus options from Södervärn out to Torup Castle. Regional bus 148 is it. Or take your bike ;-)

In the middle of the forest

 The Boskogen nature reserve hides some fun stuff, such as this house (which I think burned down once). Wonder what they will use this skeleton for? All the rubble that was both inside and outside the walls is now as if blown away, and a plate has been put up around the entire upper part of the outer walls.

To light up existence.

 On the walls of one of the most interesting buildings I know, you find these five lamps. The entire A hall in the citizens' house in Eslöv glows with such lamps. Very beautiful.

Already in 1947, the municipality announced an architectural competition to design a civic house. The competition was won by Hans Asplund.

You can read more about this house, which has been praised far and wide, and which architecture students "pilgrimage" to see.

The public toilet

 I am not one of those who think that a public toilet like this is preferable. Now it is the case that this particular one just stood there in a burned-out magazine next to Eslöv's station. The building has now been demolished and replaced with a similar one which is used for, among other things, a gym

Um, Um, Umbrella!

 Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. Like when this lady came walking with her colorful umbrella. Now of course the image is edited to black and white, where I highlighted the colors of the umbrella.

The short tram line in Malmö, Sweden.

 In the past, there were several tram lines in Malmö. Among other things, one from the center all the way to Limhamn. Another stretched along Lönngatan and Jägersovägen halfway to the newly opened department store Wessels, later B & W. The last bit was a free bus between the terminus at Kastanjeplan and on to the department store.

The tram you see starts at the fish market near the technical museum and stretches through Kungsparken to the city library. It stops there. Plans were apparently made to make it a short ring line around/through the parks.

Modern and less modern

 There are about 300 meters between the buildings you see in the pictures. The first is from the modern Kulturvarvet (Kulturvaerftet)in Elsinore (Helsingör), while the second picture is the grand entrance to Kronborg Castle

ICM, Intentional Camera Movement

 The method ICM, Intentional Camera Movement, can create quite nice movements in the subjects. Anyway, I like it.

The sun is going down.

 It happens from time to time that I end up in the right place at the right time. On this particular evening once in 2011, it happened that me and my friend Matts were outside near the robot shooting range between Malmö and Oxie when it happened.

Aimed the camera towards Malmö and waited for the sun to set just behind the TV tower at Jägersro.

Smile for the picture

 Please, smile at me!

The Avicii Arena, The Globe in Johanneshov, Stockholm

 Just south of Stockholm is Johanneshov. And there you can find the Avicii Arena, or as the people say, the Globe. It was inaugurated on February 19, 1989. Many have seen it from afar as it rises above many other buildings in its vicinity. This area also contains a large mall with various shops, on several levels. The pictures you will now see were taken in 2007 and 2010. In February 2010, two gondolas were inaugurated that take you up to the top of the Globe, 85.20 meters above the ground, and 130 meters above sea level.

Curious in this context is that in 1964 in July The Beatles had two concerts at Johanneshov's ice stadium
