Lanterns

December in Denmark means trees with lights and lanterns everywhere. It’s a good thing though as it makes it easier to see where you are. After all we have less than 7 hours of light every day in December, so some extra light is needed.

Lamb in evening light

A picture I took on a beautiful evening this summer, just as the sun was setting.
The juicy green grass combined with a white lamb in the warm tones of the setting sun works really well I think.

At the beach

This summer we I went for a very brief trip to Egholm, a tiny island in Limfjorden, on the edge of Aalborg.
The heat was extreme that day, so I didn’t really feel like taking a lot of pictures. I did take this shot though.

Goliath

I took this picture this summer, but it didn’t really appeal to me, so I decided to use it to experiment with the Lomo presets in Topaz Labs Adjust 5. I started with the preset ‘Lomo III’ and then started tweaking until i got this result. I think it turned out pretty decent, although I still prefer a more natural colour range, or monochrome of course.

Mountains in the backyard

For me, the fact that some people have mountains right in their backyard is simply amazing. I just love the nature in Tuscany.
I took this while driving from Barga to Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. If you can help me figure out where this place is, please let me know 🙂

Nihil Ardui Volentia

While hiking in Tuscany we saw a lot of small shelters along the path, that were made of rocks and had been used to stay in overnight back when rock were brought down from the mountain quarries on mules or hauled by men. Many of the small shelters had a relic like this inside.
