A feather

We have a few doves that are terrorising our balcony. They keep on coming back leaving us small gifts everywhere and I have a strong suspicion that they’re out to get our strawberries. Yesterday they even had the gall to leave evidence of their visit in form of a taunting feather on our table. I threw it away but not before taking a picture of it:)

drops, splash, up close

originally I had something else in mind for today but waking up to lightning and rain made me think of these two pictures. The other day I set up a bowl of water and the tripod on the balcony and let the camera go nuts. Some 200 pictures later I had them…:)

Make sure to see them in their original size.

Water

Lokföraregatan, sink, water

The other day I noticed a funny phenomenon when brushing my teeth. If the faucet in the bathroom is set just right the water creates some kind of air bubble that remains there for as long as the water is running. The green stuff are reflections from some towels and a soap dispenser.

Water

Water is life. Every drop is valuable and it’s easy to understand that scientists predicts that water is going to be one of the big questions to solve in the future. I just read that, by the end of this year, we’re going to be over seven billion people on this planet. That is scary to me but hopefully something will be done about the balance and distribution of those precious drops. We have freshwater in abundance over here but many countries have little or even less to its citizens. The biq question is if the developed countries are prepared to lower their standards in order to help the unfortunate countries.

A drop of water is life but running water is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Erosion constantly changes the country around us. The water and glaciers creates canyons on land while the oceans eats up the beaches on some places and makes new ones on others. The water can also be harnessed and every day power plants, driven by water, delivers power to our cities and factories. The water can also be used on a minor scale, as in the picture below. This small brook, for example, used to run a small saw mill in Ystad.

Water truly is life.

Bulbs

We’re still on the sun deck of the ship but this time the camera was pointed at a window looking down to the deck below and the lamp hanging from that ceiling. The big window that I’m looking down through is shaped like a dome and the reflection is clearly seen in the different light bulbs.

Romanesco broccoli

Here’s a somewhat strange vegetable I stumbled upon when walking the streets of Gilleleje. It’s called Romanesco broccoli, or Roman cauliflower and I think it looks great. I know it’s not the best of pictures but I took it in a rush and the surroundings was quite dark so please be patient. As soon as I find one in Lund I’ll bring it home to the studio for a better photo:)

The web

As a device for catching flies or whatnot the functionality of this web could be questioned but at least the spider gave it a shot;)

Magnifier

Today is a new day and yesterdays problems are gone. Kind of;) Not much to say about today’s picture. A leaf with a drop of water on but the magnifying effect of the drop is quite cool.

This weekend certainly had lovely weather set aside for us and when it’s this good, fall suddenly doesn’t seem like such a big hassle anymore. Let’s hope it stays like this for a little while longer, shall we?:) We’ll continue on the theme of “fall” but this time as in falling, which is what the drop on this leaf is about to do;)

press for the biggie!

Breakfast

As I sat with my breakfast yesterday I noticed the sun as it shone on two drops of water that I had spilled on the table. A very simple picture but nice even so:)
