The morning light shines through hundred year old windows. Before this building it was a school for the Salvation Army and was built in 1914. Converted to a hotel in 2004.
See the light, ha de Gött!

Honored
I’m so very honoured to have an artistic interpretation of my photo by the renowned watercolour artist Anna von Elern. They are absolutely amazing. Find out more about Anna here.
Below is my original photo. The light was very dramatic this day and I tried to sneak in a photo session before picking up my son at the bus station. Need I say that he had to wait for me? Don’t worry he did not have to wait out in the cold and he’s 27 years old and very understanding.
Sometimes things end up better than planned, ha de Gött!
Tracks
Tracks in the snow shows the way to go, ha de Gött!
Winter beach
For a couple of weeks it has been cold below 0°C but the ocean still doesn’t freeze. A strong offshore wind from the northwest and the high content of salt prevents that.
Still, people go swimming even in this. They were skinny dipping so I did not take any pictures of that! It was like a Ingmar Bergman film, even the sky was blushing.
Sometimes you need to see the naked truth, ha de Gött!
Ice is settling
The ice is settling in the fjord and the last boat out left a trail.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!
Snow cover
I just realized editing this photo that it’s unique. The same scene will never appear again. This snow is already gone and even if it will snow again it will at best be, same same but different!
The past is the past but the future is an enigma, ha de Gött!
Freezing sunset
This is one of my favourite places, Tjurpannan nature preserve close to my home. Normally it’s quite easily accessible but this day I had to walk 5km in 35 centimetres of snow and at -15°C. I think it was worth it!
Some struggles are worth having, ha de Gött!
Waterfall
Different angles of the same waterfall outside Munkedal, Sweden. The top part is quite easy to reach but the lower part with a higher drop is not so easy with the ice and mud.
Remember to keep the lens dry, ha de Gött!
Dull and grey
Even if the winter weather often is dull and grey you can find something interesting for your lens.
Here I found two bridges with the same curvature. The high bridge named Sundsbron was built in 1963 over the small strait between the two lakes Ellenösjön and Östtersjön. The road 172 from Uddevalla to Arvika runs over it. For the old iron bridge in the foreground I could not find any information when it was built. A qualified guess based on another bridge with the same design I wrote about (link), it was built late 1800 or early 1900.
Even in fog you can find a way, ha de Gött!
Melting
After some lovely winter days last week with cold and snow it is now 20°C warmer. Rain and melting snow overflows rivers and creeks.
Keep your feet dry, ha de Gött!
