The Quiet Picture

Finding my voice in the silence of nature

Svartån stitched (3 vertical frames)Once again, I found myself at Svartån. But this time it was morning and I had a chance to shoot the creek upstream. Streaming water is always better when viewing it upstreams, except at the moment of course there’s not a lot of water left in the creek. I’ll take the beautiful morning sun and red cliffs instead!

From Svartån, I drove the freshly paved road from Rullbo to Fågelsjö. It was a real joy, they’ve been working on this for the past two years and there were times when I avoided the road because it was so hard on the car to drive. But no such problems now, getting to Fågelsjö has never been this fast!

FågelsjöThere’s a couple of places I’ve been looking on the map for a while now, and today was a perfect opportunity to check them in real life. The first one was even better than I expected – I’ll be definitely coming back here, there are lots of photo opportunities but my timing wasn’t the best possible. But I got some keepers anyway, which is all the better because the second spot turned out to be inaccessible – the road was closed.

The biggest disappointment of the day was that I didn’t bring a thermos and some cakes with me. I can’t imagine a better place to enjoy a cup of coffee than those warm rocks on the shores of the Fågelsjö lake… next time I’ll have more than just the camera in the bag!

    That indeed, just sipping coffee there, sounds like a great idea! And BTW, quite nice colours :)

    Coffee tastes always good while hiking – even short hikes do the trick.
