Lindholmen

2011-07-25T00:17:00.000+02:00

This photo was taken at Lindholmen, on Hisingen. It is not a spectacular view but I like the light.

Cornflowers

2011-05-24T13:24:00.002+02:00

A friend of ours brought us these lovely cornflowers when she paid us a visit some days ago. I have always wondered why this blue colour has been called corn blue, well at least that is what it is called in Swedish, "kornblå". Now I think I know why. I have combined three pictures to create this one but the intense blue colour has not been mixed with. :)

Golden Reed

2011-04-28T10:54:00.000+02:00

I was out for a walk with some friends yesterday. I could not leave the camera at home. The picture is taken close to Eriksbergs Centrum.

Man's Best Friend

2011-04-22T18:07:00.000+02:00

I absolute love this picture! What is she looking at? The original picture has much nicer colours,obviously something happens to the picture quality when it is uploaded. Well, it is now up to your imagination.

By accident

2011-04-07T00:20:00.001+02:00

Often people have discovered great things by accident, like for instance Alexander Fleming who discovered the penicillin. I inverted this photo by accident and I think it turned out rather cool. Especially the trees. It is the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.

Cover picture

2011-04-04T18:21:00.002+02:00

I had the great honour to take the cover picture for Tofsen, Chalmers Student Union Magazine. I can not feel anything but very, very proud. You can visit Tofsen's website and read the magazine online. There is an English section as well.

Crosses

Graveyard in Maidenhead, England.

A common blackbird

2011-03-05T11:34:00.001+01:00

I am not enterily sure but I thinks this is a female common blackbird. I took this photo this winter, and I like it. The bird looks so snuggeled up in between the branches.

Anemones

Rings

2010-12-28T11:50:00.000+01:00

I have bought a new flash and I am trying it out. Those rings were a Christmas gift.

2010-12-11T22:32:00.002+01:00

This is what it looked like this morning. Wonderful!

Flame

2010-12-05T02:16:00.000+01:00

I just love how the flame is reflected in the window. This photo was taken in a restaurant in Vasastaden.

Flower Arrangement

2010-12-04T11:26:00.001+01:00

According to me, a very pretty flower arrangement. I love the colours.

Eriksberg

2010-12-03T12:01:00.000+01:00

Over the past ten years, housing have sprung up from the ground in these areas. What once was the shipyard workers' quarters, is now a sought after residential area. Amidst all these modern constructions stands this beautifully illuminated gantry crane and witnesses of the area's history.

My Mum likes flower, I like taking photos of them.

Another picture from Kviberg

2010-11-11T13:15:00.003+01:00

I am suprised to notice that people nowadays not only put candles and flowers next to the graves but also ornaments, like this heart-shaped stone where it says "Kram" in English meaning "Hug".

All Saint's Day

2010-11-09T23:01:00.003+01:00

A picture taken on Sweden's largest graveyard, Kviberg.

Out for a walk

Westminster Bridge and HDR

2010-10-18T22:36:00.004+02:00

I just made an attempt to create an HDR-image. Well, it might not be my best picture but it is at least a first try.

A butterfly

2010-10-15T12:01:00.003+02:00

Recently, I learned how to adjust the white balance on the camera and I have had lots of fun taking pictures of my butterflies. This is a butterfly-necklace.

Biscuits

2010-10-02T13:08:00.001+02:00

I saw these biscuits when I was in England and I thought they were really sweet. What do you think?

Little London?

2010-09-06T23:32:00.004+02:00

Gothenburg is sometimes called Little London, but this is a picture from the real London.

A Friday night at Lounge(s).

Pollen

2010-05-26T21:56:00.003+02:00

I wonder how much pollen these little buds contribute with? Whatsoever they make me sneeze a lot.

Look what I found, three fisherman fishing in the sea.

Charles Felix Lindberg

2010-05-10T22:32:00.005+02:00

Charles Felix Lindberg was a very successful merchant who run a huge shipping company in Gothenburg in the end of the 1900th centuary. When he died he left a considerable amount of money which he gave to the city of Gothenburg. In accordance with his last wishes, the money have been used to maintain and build parks and avenues but also to finance statues, like for instance the monument of Poseidon on Götaplatsen. This is a statue of Lindberg, as he walks through a park named after himself. If he could see the cherry-blossom I bet the look of his face would have been different.

Cherry-blossom

2010-05-09T18:26:00.002+02:00

I found this lovely cherry-blossom in Charles Felix Lindberg's park which is situated along Kungsports Avenyn, the main street in Gothenburg. Is it not adorable?

Really nice tea which fills my cup at the moment.

Sunglasses

2010-04-20T00:13:00.001+02:00

My favourite sunglasses, I have really been looking forward to using them again.

Happy Easter

2010-04-03T13:38:00.003+02:00

This year's Easter eggs, my design of course ;) Happy Easter!

Våffeldagen

Älvsborgsbron

2010-03-23T14:45:00.000+01:00

This is the other bridge Älvsborgsbron connecting the mainland of Gothenburg with Hisingen. It was built in 1967. Initially it was painted grey but in 1993 it was repainted mint green and apparently 36 000 liters of paint was used!

Röda Sten

2010-03-22T15:02:00.002+01:00

This area is called Röda Sten (the Red Stone) because one can find a huge red-painted stone here. There are several stories about it, one tells that a Swedish officer was killed here during a Danish attack and his blood splashed all over the stone and turned it red. Who knows…

Mölndalsån

2010-03-21T14:51:00.003+01:00

The secret of taking a good picture is partly by showing a known place from a new angle. You have probably walked along this river (Mölndalsån) maybe as a child all excited about going to the amusment park Liseberg, at least I have. But I have never seen that little road from up above, before now.

Go Frölunda!

2010-03-20T13:00:00.005+01:00

I was in Scandinavium the other day and watched Frölunda play a gainst Linköping in aquater-final. They won! Frölunda is Gothenburg's ishockey team and I love this game.

Cows

2010-03-18T01:11:00.001+01:00

I liked the colours, I hope you will do like them too.

Spring Sun

2010-03-15T23:16:00.001+01:00

The snow is still lasting but at least the spring sun has arrived!

Pink and purple

2010-02-27T19:18:00.002+01:00

Pink and purple my favourite colours! Yes, I have edited this photo a bit too.

Black and white

2010-02-26T18:52:00.000+01:00

If you wonder, yes I have edited this photo a bit. I liked the effect. The photo was taken on Ramberget as well.

L♥ve

Ramberget

2010-02-24T18:19:00.003+01:00

This shot is taken on Ramberget, 87 meters above the sea level. It provides a spectacular view but unfortunately it was a bit too cloudy this day.

Snow

2010-02-23T18:03:00.002+01:00

Who would have guessed that Gothenburg would turn into a ski resort.

Busy

2010-01-25T17:13:00.003+01:00

Sadly Uni. has taken over my life and I have not much time left for photography. But I took this photo the other day, it is our fireplace.

Peeking

2010-01-10T22:19:00.001+01:00

Our window. But we can still have a peek.

Christmas in Gothenburg XI

2010-01-04T14:56:00.003+01:00

This is my last picture from Christmas in Gothenburg and it is not a very unique photo, many like to depict Gothenburg this way. I just thought it was my turn now.

Christmas in Gothenburg X

2010-01-03T22:52:00.003+01:00

The building in the background Göteborgs Konsthall is the centre of contemporary art here in Gothenburg. It was built in 1923. I love the irradiation, especially the white light on the trees.

Christmas in Gothenburg IX

2010-01-02T22:43:00.003+01:00

As I have written before the theme this year is love. Therefore one can find a "kissing stop" (pusstation) here and there. I think it is cute and actually saw people stoping by to kiss.

Christmas in Gothenburg VIII

2010-01-01T22:38:00.002+01:00

These goldes spheres remind me about a solar system. Cool idea.

Christmas in Gothenburg VII

2009-12-31T01:01:00.004+01:00

Happy New Year!

This is a photo taken of Götaplatsen and the statue is called Poseidon. I have written more about it before, if you would like to read it, please click here.

Christmas in Gothenburg VI

2009-12-30T00:49:00.000+01:00

Pinky-dinky rocks the socks!

Christmas in Gothenburg V

2009-12-29T02:22:00.004+01:00

This little park is called Bältesspännarparken and got it’s name thanks to a famous statue that unfortunately is not visible on this photo. In the middle one sees an ice rink decorated in a christmacy way. One can come here and ice skate for free which is really nice. During the summer the ice rink becomes a fountain.

Christmas in Gothenburg IV

2009-12-28T02:17:00.000+01:00

I really like this photo and the blue light it catches. It looks very icy and cold ina nice way. This photo is taken from the Kungsportsbron built in 1810 and in the background one can see Stora Teatern (the big theatre) which is irradiated with red light.

Christmas in Gothenburg III

2009-12-27T02:08:00.000+01:00

Yes it is quite cold here, even the canal has frozen. In the background one can spot two tiny Christmas trees made of light and a flagpole. The truth is that almost every flagpole has turned into a Christmas tree. Ingenious, if you ask me!

The street along the canal is Stora Nygatan which is quite famous because of its odd numbers. You can find out more about it in my previous post here.

Christmas in Gothenburg II

2009-12-26T01:58:00.000+01:00

This statue is called “Kopparmärra” which translated to English would mean “copper mare”. The king on the horse is Karl IX and he was involved in the founding of the early Gothenburg. Moreover, this is a very popular meeting place for the citizens of Gothenburg and I think it is even nicer when it is irradiated by the greenish light which is also part of christmas-light project this year.

PS. I think the shadow makes an dramatic effect. DS.

Christmas in Gothenburg I

2009-12-25T01:03:00.003+01:00

From the 13th until the 31th of December thousands of Christmas lights glow over the city. Apparently the theme is “love” and one will find “love-spots” here and there where one is supposed to kiss and hug. I find the decorations beautiful and the theme is cute.

Merry Christmas

2009-12-24T18:40:00.005+01:00

I wish You a Merry Christmas!
Lots of love from Gothenburg.

Snow

2009-12-23T18:27:00.001+01:00

We got snow in Gothenburg, there might be a white Christmas :)

Something else

2009-12-22T01:23:00.001+01:00

Today I am posting a random photo from Gothenburg. It is actually my piano, but it is at least situated in Gothenburg.

Ättestupan at night

2009-12-21T01:00:00.002+01:00

The first photo I posted on this blog was taken at this very same place called Ättestupan. It looks diffrent.

Peeping?

2009-12-20T01:38:00.000+01:00

No, I would not say that I am peeping. But I like the pattern the colours make in the windows, like if they decided to go for different colour themes.

Gloomy

2009-12-19T01:31:00.000+01:00

I must admit that this photo was taken in October, there are no leaves left on the trees and there is actually a tiny layer of snow. Is it too optimistic, hoping for a white Christmas?

More nightshots

2009-12-18T01:28:00.000+01:00

I really like the green colour of the grass.

NightShots

2009-12-17T03:34:00.003+01:00

There is not a lot to say about this photo, it speaks for it self. I love the effect that the red lights do. There is something special about nightshots.

Stockholm VII

2009-12-16T03:30:00.002+01:00

This is just a random photo from Stockholm and I believe it will end this "special" theme. I have to start posting pictures from Gothenburg again. We will see what I might come up with for tomorrow.

Stockholm VI

2009-12-15T03:10:00.000+01:00

This is another photo of the same church as yesterday but from another angle.
