Charlie swing gate, Checkpoint. Very annoying place, if you been there you know what I mean.
We dug this up in a Lebanese familys garden.
Then put some explosives on the explosives
Then we put some bags with fertilizer mixed with diesel on the explosives that we put on the explosives to get a bigger bang. No, I'm just kidding it's ordinary sandbags
Aftermath, a little crack in the wall and some satisfied houseowners.
Quasimodo curve, executions took place here for some reason.

En lokförare förlorar aldrig, det är alltid en seger.
Båda "fögglera" (-Kanadagäss som vän av ordning säger...) ser ut att gå för vinst...

Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag…
Temat var ”oväntat” numer får man bara skicka in ett bidrag och jag valde min laserbild. Chilli fick stå åt sidan den här gången.
Laser...
When i say -Clean the car. Chilli do as I say!
Alster…
Went to Alster to see if I could take some pictures of a beaver couple that lives in the small river next to Frödings old home. Did not see any beavers so I took some pictures of the surroundings.
Because of the boring grey spring weather I made the decision to play around a bit. This is an HDR picture, I used an ND8 filter because I wanted to use a longer exposure time to get the desired effect on the water.
Took this shot (5 exposures) from a bird watching tower close to Vänern south of Alster mansion. As you can see there is a very boring sky. Used photomatix "painting" preset on this one.
Heard this train comming so I dialed in "S" on my Nikon and chose a exposure time with the purpose to get a blurry background behind the train. The funny thing is that last time I was here I took a picture of exactly ( I think) this train.
As soon as the train was gone I saw a couple of Canadian goose take off, of course I forgot to change the exposure time on the camera so all shots came out blurry However sometimes I think blurry pictures has its own charm so I picked this one out and made a black and white version.
Finally i shot this hdr of a wreck in the stream.
