Fishermen’s friend

These friendly old-timers get up at eight a clock in the morning every Tuesday to go fishing at a small bay/lake located very close to where I live. They say the catch hasn’t been very good this season and that the number seems to be growing weaker for every year.

I’m gonna let my  enviromental blogging friends take it over from there http://treegreen.wordpress.com

Rust

I stumbled upon this beautiful car wreck on my way to the grocery store the other day. It looked like someone had tried to have a barbeque in it after driving it off the highway with a small bomb in the backseat.

Once again, these pictures may or may not look too saturated on your screen. Hopefully they don’t look too bad!

Workers

Stockholm is truly a beautiful city. The funny thing is that I never really saw the beauty of it until I actually moved there myself in my own search of fortune, even though I’ve visited the city countless times before. It’s a goldmine in more than one sense, with its charming old-fashioned architecture opening up a lot of different photographic opportunities. City photography is always a thrill.

This one has purposefully been given a hefty increase in contrast in order to give it a certain feel. It might be a little too much though, seeing how my monitor is very old with a calibration that’s way off the chart. It’s taken at a large construction site in central Stockholm.

“It should be in black and white” I hear you say? I had a rough time deciding about that myself but I settled on the more artsy look this time.

Marvin

Today’s post (first one in a while, I know) I’d like to dedicate to a very dear friend of mine, Marvin the cat.

Now, I don’t usually take photos of animals and other nature stuff but I felt like I had to make an exception with this fella.

He’s been chasing and biting me all week but I love ‘im all the same.

Hide n’ seek

I clearly lost this battle. Taken at a friends summer cabin.

The old shipyard

Right next to where I live there is a shipyard where you can find all kinds of interesting motives. Perfect for a visist with a camera on a sunny Sunday evening.

The place was put out of business less than a year ago due to financial problems and bad management. It’s a pretty sad story. A lot of the locals feel that the shipyard resembled something very important in Ålands long history of shipping. Now it’s all just standing there and nobody really knows what’s gonna happen to it.

Most machines have been removed from the site but some of them still remain, like this old red crane.
