Chilli getting air time…

First lift off...

 

Then at the right altitude...

 

It is time to enjoy the view...

 

.

 

I see a stupid human with a camera...

 

I see a soft spot to land on...

This is not photoshop, he is actually above the camera, used a Tokina 11-16 to shoot this.


Snowleopards…

Beautiful animals at Nordens ark.

Marking its territory, the long thick tail has two purposes, balance and keep the face warm at winter.

 

Hypnotizing eyes.

 

Sleepy

 

Yawn....

 

Teeth

Day three on Vänern, Onsön and the river Klarälven.

Of course I managed to forget that I hade tried to shoot with ISO 3200 yesterday. So a lot of these shots were taken with ISO 3200 in broad day light :) , If you have a sharp eye you can probably sort out the ISO 3200 from the ones shot with ISO 200.

A dried piece of wood I found on the island Onsön.

A butterfly with another fellow behind his butt.

This is Jonte, he is three years old and he helped me move the log he now is sitting on.

Jonte sees something suspicious!

Jonte thinking about life in general.

Then he noticed the paparazzi...

and fled with a friend to the waiting luxoriuous yacht Kuttra7.

Earlier that same day I saw this seagull use a boat to poop on...

Then he took off to poop somewhere else...

When we went home there was a queue on the river.

There was a smart cow enjoying the swell from the passing boats...

A cow enjoying life...

The sight of the cows was almost an religious experience,,,

The sight of Jakobsbergsbron brought me back to reality.

And forced me to use the legal speed (?) of 5 knots again...

I looked back and saw other boats slogging around the bend in 5 knots...

When we came back from where we started the seagull was back doing his business...


Nabben/Ormholmarna

Two nice days in a row has been spent on lake Vänern.

Holy diver.... well maybe not...

Polarizing filter helps to get rid of reflections on the water surface.

White flower of some kind...

Reading on Ormsholmen,

East side of Ormholmarna.

Small bay north east on Ormholmarna.

Mushroom

Mushroom again...

Funny leaf, the holes are probably made by some hungry insect.

From Nabben.

Boat buss/Båtbussen.

Boats everywhere...

And now to some creepy stuff... Maybe it is a relative to Jack Sparrows that is emerging from the bottom of Vänern... :)

In the heart of Bovallstrand. Annoying lamp post in the front...

Incredible sunset over Karlstad.

Amazing… not photoshop!

It was better in real life, this picture does not serve justice...


Speeding…

Gravel

Tarmac


Onsön, island in Vänern.

Took a trip to Onsön today, lovely weather I must say.

All by ourselves...

Traces of the ice-age.

Did not really need the anchor but it sure made the picture a little bit more interresting.

 


Snail

Snail in the wet grass in my backyard.


Summer evening in Alster.

Green is the colour of the day.

And a little bit of red.

Bridge.


Hedgehog… again!

He is very active now if he just could stop doing number two on our lawn.
