This picture is taken on the last day of 2022. The fireworks of man in the evening, was nothing compared to this. It literally blew me off my feet, so the picture is taken lying down.
I huff and I puff to knock you off your feet, ha de Gött!
Yesterday presented a fantastic evening sky and this completely still pond. Times like this you wish that you brought the camera. Luckily I did! I managed to get a few good shots before the wind picked up and changed the scene. One of the important things to know as a photographer is how to balance the frame with the rule of thirds. I do think it also can be this.
To quote the Swedish King when he met the Queen, “it just clicked”. Ha de Gött!
Pondering at the pond let the thoughts purl by a creek story snow white synapses bouncing in my skull a line of sense meandering stream across the land mindful deliberation crackles from the ice while the sun struggles to get over the tree line
Keep calm and contemplate, ha de Gött!
Locked in the loo wondering what to do have to admit situation is shit will this end well panicking smell do another squeeze climb the window please how could this be snapped lock'n'key becoming laughing stock janitor call to unlock discreetly with chill noisy chisel and drill curses to unblock that stubborn lock
Sometimes you’ll have to face your worst fear, ha de Gött!
The new year 2023 decided it was time to fill up the reservoirs of water in the ground. It has been raining almost nonstop but today it was forecasted that the sun would break through the clouds. Not so much sun but at least some light so this is the first picture for 2023.
Leaking boots makes a cool photographer, ha de Gött!
The beautiful and special corkscrew shaped horns of the Tadjik Markhor (Capra falconeri) is the reason for its decline. The horns are popular among trophy hunters. I guess it’s the stupidity of mankind, the need to own what’s beautiful and unique.
This goat lives in mountain areas and is a fantastic climber. The females live in groups but the males are solitary and only meet to mate. Violent fight take place between the males and the winner then get to mate with several females.
Only shot worth taking, is with the camera, ha de Gött!
The year 2022 comes to an end and it’s time to reflect. I took a look back on my photography during 2022 and tried to pick out my 10 favourite photos. I wish that thought would self destruct after 10 seconds as it was a bit of Mission Impossible. Struggling with the imposter syndrome and the falling in love with some of the pictures. I managed to pick 10 out and here they are in a slide show. Hope you like it.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year. In Swedish Gott Nytt År, ha de Gött!
why was it
he invented dynamite
and then
in regret instigated a prize
for literature and peace
how could he forget
to name a prize
for Christmas present rhyme
Some things are just prize less, ha de Gött!
I hope you all enjoy a wonderful Christmas.
My gift to you is my son playing Silent Night on classic guitar.
cringed rhyme on a package oversized shopping mall Santa ho, ho, hoo sleigh bells and jingles wailed to pieces White Christmas blasting from cracked speaker membrane frantic blipping red hot gold cards twinkling blank eyes, pulling arms perfect Disney tree in Hong Kong plastic coloured balls and flashing lights hurry hurry get some more you better buy for goodness sake keep those wheels turning get in that Christmas spirit
It’s a holiday, not a contest, ha de Gött Christmas.
