Picture of the day (August 31, 2010)

Just when we thought summer was over, the sun and warmth came back – and even some flowers I hadn’t seen before! It’s like spring again …

Looks like summer is over – here at least. We’ve been having this dreary weather since the weekend, and it’s been raining almost without interruption. The trees have started loosing their leaves, and it looks an awful lot like autumn already. Just that it’s still august …

New picture in gallery “Graffiti”

I’ve come past one of their graffiti’s several times, but recently they seem to have decided to “decorate” some more places with it. In the second picture, they seem to have been disturbed while painting “Locos”, and in the third, they didn’t even get that far.

Picture of the day (August 11, 2010)

Today’s sunset was accompanied by dark thunderclouds and heavy rain. Sitting on the bus on my way home from work, the landscape stretching out in front of us carried a special mood you only feel during summer storms at late afternoon or early evening. I wanted to capture this mood, and when I saw the hay bales and trees approaching, I knew this was the perfect setting. I hope this picture transports a bit of that mood which I felt at the time of shooting it.
