This bird was flying back and forth from my deck to a bush across from me. Wanting to get a photo if it, I put a little piece of bread out on the ledge. I waited with my camera for about 15 minutes. Snapped the photo as soon as it grabbed the bread. If it appears soft, it's because I shot it through a screen door.
Not a good idea to feed sparrows bread. Some seeds would be better.This bird was flying back and forth from my deck to a bush across from me.

Just looking at those cars parked that close to the edge of the canal makes me nervous.
Of course if you are going to live there then you just have to get used to it. But still.
Oh, are these right-hand drives (I wouldn't think so) or do people just scoot over and get out on the passenger side?
You should see them parking the cars! balls of steel! No way I would try it yet they nip in and out of the spaces right next to the edge. If the steering wheel was on the correct side, they would be into the water when getting out!

I managed to get out this morning, and while there was a big cloud bank on the horizon, the sun broke through for about 30 seconds and I got a few shots I like. I'm sure they must have been catching fish on this boat!

A really nicely put together image, she exudes a lot of determination. To me, she looks more roller-derby than volleyball, because of the jeans and the black face marks.A composited piece for a volleyball player.

Well, up at 5am local time, into the -5 degree cold - very bracing. I was tired until I walked outside instantly woke up!
Managed to catch the sunrise over the lake next to Haga (Royal) Park in Solna.

Evening walk. Local school, seen from below.
I must go back to shoot some wide angle.
Thanks!
Sunrise is my favourite time to shoot, but I think -5 would change my mind. Great shot though.
I like that a lot!
Worth the effort. I rolled out of bed at 7, saw it was a nice morning and wished I'd made the effort. However it's due to rain from lunchtime until Monday when it's going to snow!Well, up at 5am local time, into the -5 degree cold - very bracing. I was tired until I walked outside instantly woke up!

One of two rusted gun mounts on the old ruins. These ruins are sinking into the sea.

Nice job. You just need to push those photo bombers out of the way.
It's a spot that asks for further investigation and experiments. Here it is from the a distance (not my photo)

I like it.
I used to be a Mod, back in the mid 80's, was a wonderful time, filled with Ska music , fun times, day-trips on Vespas, lots of dancing and just good, clean fun.

As I've been ill with a bit of a cold I though I'd take the bus to work yesterday so I finally got round to testing my Samyang Fisheye I picked up the other week. Quite impressed to be honest.
Closeup of the entry into the ruins. It's mostly sunk into the sand now. It's also at an angle, so looks a bit tilted. I used the level in the camera to get it close.
