Damselflies/ Flicksländor vid Krankesjön.
Posted on May 19, 2018
On my way to a friend I had a quick stop at a lake close by. Turned out to be a short stop because the mosquitos loved me and I wasn’t prepared for them at all. But I just had to get some pictures of the damselflies that seemed to be everywhere. Red and blue, big and small and just lovely./ På väg till en kompis häromdagen tog jag vägen förbi Krankesjön ute på Revingehed. Det blev ett kort stopp för myggen gillade mig och jag var inte ens förberedd på att de skulle vara där. Stoppet var tillräckligt långt för att få till några bilder på några olika flicksländor som var precis överallt. Blåa, röda, stora, små och alldeles underbara.
Large red damselfly/ Röd flickslända
Spearhead bluet damselfly/Spjutflickslända
European damselfly/ Sjöflickslända
they are so fascinating and beautiful but not really easy to get pictures of/ så vackra men inte helt lätta att fotografera.

Magical morning rays of light. Magiska morgonstrålar. ( Fyledalen, Sweden)
Posted on April 17, 2018
15 000 years ago in connection with the end of the ice age this valley was created. The valley has great biological and geological value. Beech forest that has been allowed to grow wild and old. Frogs and reptiles flourish. Common and rare birds of prey thrives in the surroundings. All species of bats that are known in Sweden have been found here and red deer likes the area. The area is often called northern Europes best place for winter bird watching for eagles.
Fyledalen skapades för ca 15 000 år sedan då istiden tog slut. Dalen har stora biologiska och geologiska värden. Ädelträskog som tillåts växa vild och bli gammal. Grodor och kräldjur trivs. Vanliga och ovanliga rovfåglar stortrivs i omgivningarna. Sveriges olika sorters fladdermöss finns här och hjortar rör sig i marken. Området kallas för norra Europas bästa ställe för vinter fågelskådning av örnar.
if you want to catch some magical morning rays of light then you have to get out of bed early. Sunrise in these parts of the world happens around 5.52 ! Rise and shine.
Om Du vill fånga det magiska morgonljuset så måste du ta dig ur sängen och vara på plats runt soluppgång som är runt 5.52 i våra trakter just nu. Upp och hoppa !

I’m waiting for the polar bears….

our little nook of the world looks like the arctic today….I wouldn’t be surprised if a polar bear would reveal itself on the ice along our shore !
The ice age is here
Posted on March 1, 2018
A snow storm hit us hard Tuesday and it hasn’t let go of us yet. Hard winds and more snow has made our roads dangerous to drive on. Buses and trains don’t run. Schools are open for those who can walk there. I’m “trapped” out here in the countryside so what to do? Of course I just had to get some picture of all this. It was a little difficult since it was snowing so hard. The lens got snowy as soon as I took out my camera.
First time I’ve seen the water frozen in the harbor. Can’t be good for the boats that are still in the “ice”.
A snow dune that looked like a sand dune that had been built up along the fishing huts.
On the other side the fishing huts where all winter dressed.
The water closest to the shore looked like a slushy drink.
The ice is building up and I couldn’t help but think of the ice age. Is it coming back?
Winter dressed trees and bushes are so beautiful though.
On the day three years ago I sat out here and had my coffee in the sun. (Facebook reminded me today)I washed the windows and did some gardening. Today we didn’t have coffee out here. It was hot coco with rum weather, inside by the fire place. Oops forgot the whipped cream on top.
Sandhammaren , a preserve on the south coast of Sweden.
Posted on January 4, 2018
Today I went to Sandhammaren to test some things with my camera. So different around here in the wintertime. A lot less beach but more sea. No people ! Regardless of what time of the year it’s a favorite place of mine. Love to go for walks on the endless beach. Today I went to work with my camera. Testing a filter.
as you can see this is where I removed the filter
refreshed and freezing cold I left this special place curious of how my pictures would turn out. What do you think?
Supersuper moon visited us tonight.
Posted on January 2, 2018
The sky was filled with dark clouds and I could not see the moon until all of a sudden…. I grabbed my camera and ran down to the shore and got there just in time for it to disappear behind some massive clouds again ! Im not the one who gives up so I waited and waited, freezing my fingers off for around 20 minutes but then it showed up from behind the dark clouds. it really was a supersuper moon. Wonder if I will get some sleep at all tonight..maybe I will be out howling?
tonight was good practice since it’s not easy to catch the moon.
Kullens light station
Posted on July 31, 2017
is the highest one in Sweden. Situated at 187.5 meters and it dates all the way back to 1561. Since 1751 more than 200 ships have become wrecks outside the horn with it’s treacherous rocks. Nowadays it’s a popular diving site because of the wrecks and very clear water.
all of a sudden I saw the sun right in the middle of the light station. Now that’s what I call solar energy.
stunning scenery. We where here early in the morning so we couldn’t climb up into the light station since it doesn’t open until 11.00 !!
Kullen, Kullaberg, Skåne, Sweden.
Posted on July 29, 2017
Kullen has got to be one of the most beautiful spots in all of Sweden. I’m so happy that we paid a visit one early morning a couple of days ago.
Soooo worth a trip but be aware…it’s not the easiest place to explore. Small children can’t run around as they like and the climbs down the cliffs can be really challenging.
there’s different nature trails you can choose to get around and at some spot there’s actually a shelter so you can stay overnight. The Swedish ” right to public access” is amazing. Too bad not everybody understands how great this is and respects it.
not a bad place to anchor for the night
you can paddle sea kayaks and do some cliff climbing around here….there’s some people getting ready to repel down the cliff side. see them?
amazing that anything can grow among all these rocks
look at that tree with the roots !
amazing scenery ….Parishamn
all of a sudden the mist was creeping up on us like a ghost
the scenery changed so fast
climbing up we could see it out over the water
while looking out over the water I all of a sudden saw two porpoises – tumlare. WOW !!
you can actually go on a porpoise watching tour that leaves from Parishamn.
Ablahamn
below is a map of Kullen if you’re up for an adventure !
Sweden, Skåne, Österlen, Forsemölla, Rörums backar.
Posted on July 10, 2017
Yesterday we headed east for Sträntemölla preserve, Forsemölla, Rörums backar, Österlen. This part of the world is truly beautiful.
I love the old stone fences
first part of the fall……
the second part is the highest
there’s something special about waterfalls…our niece said ” it’s like stepping into a Lord of the rings movie” and it truly was…mysterious and magical
we walked through beautiful old deciduous forest
and then all of a sudden we entered “Mandelmanns trädgårds” grounds
with open pasture, summer meadows and rolling “hills”
walked up to the top of a hill where we could see all the way to the sea…
Rörums backar, the hills of Rörum in panoramic view
truly worth a visit if you’re in my part of the world. perfect spot for a picnic.
