Mirage


During the time sailing we saw this lovely mirage on the horizon. The water temperature at the time was over 25 degrees, and after a sudden rain the air was much cooler. This resulted in a mirage similar to the ones seen on hot road in the summer.

Better visible in the larger version on Picasa.

Mazury


Today is a classic image from the Mazury, the lake district in north-eastern Poland. Next week we are going for the most Polish of holidays* - a week on a yacht in Mazury. So, don't expect an update next week.

*With the possible exception of toughing it out in the bars of Zakopane with occasional hikes in the mountains.

Heavy clouds over the summer houses


Another picture from Sweden. Heavy clouds over the summer houses by the coast.

CePeLek


Picture of the day is the rather dreary façade of the CePeLek, the military medical clinic in central Warsaw. If you see a building like this in Warsaw it's almost always some kind of state or city authority that own it.

I started a collection of Warsaw buildings a long time ago. Unfortunately I have neglected it, but maybe I'll start adding some more pictures there also.

Åstol


Here is a seriously overexposed image of the island Åstol off the Swedish west coast. The picture was meant to be part of a HDR set, but the way the HDR came out didn't appeal to me. However, I like this a lot. It only required a little bit of postprocessing to bring out the colours of the island as a contrast against the white sky and the bright sea.

A little meta: I tried to keep this blog first in Swedish, then in both Swedish and English, but from now on it will be in English only. Almost all Swedes I know understand English, and very few non-Swedes do. A google-translate button is added to the right if you need it. I will also try to update this blog a little more frequently. The goal is every Tuesday and Friday with occational in-betweens.

Typisk svensk västkust

Efter semestern i Sverige ett par bilder från den svenska västkusten. Först den idealiserade bilden:

Sedan den ibland mer rättvisande:

Den första bilden är tagen på Dyrön, den andra längre söderut, i Halland. På den sista bilden låg väderfronten ett par kilometer ut i havet. Därav den ljusa himlen under molnbasen.
