Tjärnö

Tjärnö

The small island Tjärnö with a view to the northeast. Behind the island lie the Kosterfjord. Kosterfjord is not really a fjord but a deep underwater valley with a depth of 250 meters. On the Tjärnö island is also a marine biological research center linked to the University of Gothenburg. It’s open to the public so they can learn more about the unique environment in the Kosterfjord.

I struggled a bit to get the color saturation right as the thick clouds hardly let any light through. At first the picture came out very blue. Even if it was cold it was not that cold and I wanted the picture a bit warmer. Now I hope it’s reflecting -3°C and no wind.

Don’t be blue, connect. Ha de Gött!

Mallard

Mallard

He was a bit annoyed when I just took pictures without feeding him. Under loud quacking he hid under the quay. I guess I need some breadcrumbs in my pocket for the next time.

This is a male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) in his colorful plumage. The female has a brown spotted plumage. The mallard is common all over the northern hemisphere but has been implanted to several places in the southern hemisphere. Some individuals are resident and stay with the same partner even with changing seasons. As omnivore they adapt very well to humans and is therefore often seen in cities.

Quack, Quack, ha de Gött!

More Snow

More Snow

More snow on the winter green juniper bush. Love the contrast of the sharp needles and the soft snow. There is warmth in the vivid green and coldness in the white snow. Like Snowwhite taking refuge with the raw barked seven dwarfs.

Be cool, ha de Gött!

Lines

Lines

Lines in the sky. Airlines. There in the skyline, high flying.

Commercial airline race. Line up in the blue haze.

Underlining our freedom. People connecting white lines.

Smoke lines to adventure. Draw the line till she choke.

There’s always two sides to a coin, ha de Gött!

Frozen Apples

Frozen Apples

Just like Adam and Eve

Should I pick and eat

Sun kissed but frozen

Would I know it all

Or is it just the Serpent Sun

Lure me

To bite my teeth off

Be curious, but not dumb, ha de Gött!

Fire in the Sky

Fire in the Sky

Sometimes you don’t have to make that long hike to get that fantastic image. Last Teams meeting in my home office I open the blinds to see this. So now you know. If someone suddenly drops out of the meeting they run out with the camera. Two minutes after this was taken it was gone. Time stamp 16:34.

Mother Nature’s continuous art exhibition, ha de Gött!

Gale

Gale

Exploring more with color, black and white. This picture was taken in a very tricky light coming in behind me from the low standing November sun. Just bursting through the rain clouds for a few minutes. There is a mood in this picture and after taken an online photography training I like to explore how, or if, the mood changes going to black and white.

What do you think? (If you open the website you can use the slider to compare, not sure it works in the WP reader). Ha de Gött!
