FMTSO: Photographer’s Choice

 

Stone wall along a cemetery near where I live.
The month of November is a challenge in itself:
With all the greenery gone, it’s a different world.

FMTSO/FF/SSS: Waiting to Play

They’re building a new playground in the Town Park.

For now it is surrounded by a fence…

… and the children have to play elsewhere :)

Hopefully it will be worth the wait, though. Children all over town were involved in the planning of it; there was a sort of contest and school children got to vote for one of three alternatives. It was arranged in a similar way to political elections.

PS. The sculpture in the last photo is not new, it has been in the park for decades I think. But it has got a new plinth!

PPS. If someone is wondering about the low activity level on this blog lately, the answer is the same as to why they’re taking a pause in the building of the playground: It’s July! In Sweden, every activity that is not absolutely necessary (or tourist-related) takes a break in July…

In this case, the shadow was in better condition than the object casting it…

First time this year that I climbed it!

Spinning a Yarn Up the Wall

for Shadow Shot Sunday

It’s not every day you find a spinning wheel on a barn wall, spinning shadows, high over your head…

Found this one on the gable of a countryside curiosity shop!

Next week is spring equinox, but winter is still holding us in a firm grip here. March has been extremely cold, and at the beginning of the week, we had more snow falling down on us. The sun is doing its best to clear the walkways again now, but in the shady spots you still have to tread very carefully.

Straight out of the Camera Sunday

Shadow Shot Sunday

The glimpses of sun have been rare lately…
Only occasionally do the clouds part for long enough
to remind us of the difference between light and shadow.

Yesterday afternoon the Sun and I happened to be out together for just a short while. There haven’t been many opportunities for shadow shots lately!

Shadow Shot Sunday: The First Autumn Leaf

The first autumn leaf
took a bold jump off the tree,
shouted: Look at me!

Never Was There Any Shadow

  

“Never was there any shadow”

From an outdoors modern art exhibition in the Open Air Museum park. (A more suitable title this summer might have been “never was there any shelter from the rain”.)
