This post features 38 pictures on the biggest piece of art I have photographed so far. It is called Nimis (Latin for "too much") and can be found on a beach in Kullaberg nature reserve. It's built out of wood and it's estimated to weight about 70 tons. The history behind this work is long and I'll only give a brief retelling of it here. The construction of it was started in 1980 by the artist Lars Vilks. He didn't bother to obtain any permission from the local government to build it so once they found out about it, they started the legal work to get it removed. But after a lot of legal filibustering by the people that want to preserve the work, they seems to have given up on the idea. The work is still being worked on by various people and parts of the construction has been rebuilt during the years because of damage dealt to it by storms and arsonists. All my pictures were shoot on the same summer day this year.

This year me and my SO went to Norway for about a week. We did the trip mostly because I wanted to visit a friend and we both wanted to experience (which in my case means photographing) the Norwegian landscape. We drove along the coast and made stops in Oslo, Mandal, Stavanger and Kristiansand. Although it was raining a lot during our trip we still got a fair share of nice weather and we where able to enjoyed the trip a lot.

Below are two pictures that I couldn't group in with the other pictures I'll post later.

Photos taken a summer evening this year.

During my summer vacation I was at a café called "The view". It is placed on a horst called Hallandsåsen and overlooks a large part of Halland. It is about 100 meters above sea level, which is not that high, but because Halland is so flat, you can see quite far. I didn't think the view was any thing special, so I didn't get any super great photographs out of the visit. But I'm still glad I took the time to visit it because I wanted to see the place where I live in from high up.

This is a photo on Halmstad I shoot from a beach south of Halmstad. This shoot was done in the middle of the night and the exposure time was about 2 minutes. I want to go back to that beach another night. I believe I can make an even better photo if I try some more.

About two weeks ago, me and my girlfriend were invited by her parents to join them on a trip to Hallands väderö. It is a Nature reserve located on a island close to Sweden's west coast. Of course I saw this an opportunity to photograph some nature and I took a lot of photographs. I will, as usual, post my favorites in a series of blog posts.

In this post I'm including pictures on the landscapes and trees that can be found the island.

When I owned and used an APS camera I was still living with my parents and took a lot of photos in the forest around their house. To take these pictures I had turn off the flash (only setting I could change) and used my mothers tripod to stabilizes the camera. I was tempted to crop some of these pictures before posting them, but decided against it. I want to show of the pictures as they look like on paper when developed by a regular photo store.

I recently dug up some old film cartridge and got them developed digitally. I thought it would be nice to have digital copies of my old photos. While looking through them I find a few that I thought it would be fun to post here. Not because they are the best pictures in the world, but because they are how picture look like when shot with a cheap APS camera. Many of the pictures have a lot of noise in them and the colors are pale (and the fact that it was my first camera and I was just starting to photograph does really add to quality either). The pictures were all shoot between 1999 and 2001.

I like this picture. The vignetting (darkness in the corners) is a sign of cheap camera for me, but I think it adds to the picture.

The pale colors reminds me of old post cards.

The valley Mayrhofen is settled in is called Zillertal. We got a few nice view of it while skiing on the surrounding mountains.

As I said earlier, I took a lot of photos on the mountains in Mayrhofen.

I spent a Saturday afternoon walking along the beach at Grötvik. It was during a beautiful day and the weather made it easy for me to take several nice photographs. These photos are probably going to be rare, because it's not every year in Halmstad that the beach is covered with snow during a sunny day. If it wasn't for the unusually cold winter this year, the snow would have melt away as soon as the sun came out.
