Thursday, May 6th, 2010 At last spring arrived and the dull lövfyllda landscapes filled with anemones, which makes the land more visually attractive. Out on Ekholmen ( Gränsö / Västervik) are blooming in full swing. It immediately becomes healthier and happier after the dull and long winter when it gets a little color to landscapes surrounded it out.
And ... spring wind whispered in my ear that I missed a wide-angle zoom lens in my camera bag. With its compelling voice before I acquired the new Nikon 16-35mm f4 VRII lens , and so far I am more than satisfied with this lens.

Sunday, July 12th, 2009 Swedish: On Gränsö Nature Reserve ( little island ) plants are a plethora of exciting plants. During my last visit I saw a collection of Dianthus deltoides (Latin), and Back Pinks which is the Swedish name. They lit up as if they were radioactive , and something like that is hard to just walk past with a camera on the shoulder. This plant is a bit special , for the flower closes during the dark period of the day and during rain, and opens at the light and sunshine.

Saturday, April 4th, 2009 On Gränsö it is during the hot season grazing Gotland sheep . Something that catches tourists' interest because Gränsö is a big naturresevat where tourists often come to visit for trade fairs and exhibitions in the summer, and go hiking trail and enjoy the beautiful and smooth rocks that have been polished by water over thousands of years.
