Stress - over and out

2009-11-04T23:07:00.002+01:00

I am so sorry to say, that I have to stop posting on this blog.

It has now become "something I have to do" instead of something funny. And together with the fact that my Doctor tells me that I have stres... now is maybe the right time to stop :(

I will NEVER stop photograhing everything... but in the future I will post them on my normal blog: A Knitting Chick! :)

First of all... sorry for the round corners. I used to be very fond of this.

The photo is showing my daughter in an old Mercedes Benz :) I keep going back to this photo as I love it so much. Can't really tell you why.

Maybe because Nanna is captured as she is the most. Fun, joking, positive :)

A beautiful spot at Skamlingsbanke.

I am sorry that I get behind on posting photos at the moment. Doctor says stress.... and orders me to take it easy.

Really makes me nuts because I think: "Hey I am retired and is supposed to have tons of time". But I mess up appointments. Forget stuff. Am soooo tired.

But how come? Now that I am at home.. shouldn't I really have lot's of time? How come I get stress for something you might think about as nothing?

Not fair....

Our local mill. It is the oldest working mill in Denmark. And one of the oldest in Europe.

It was build in 1100, back when Erik Ejegod ruled the country. During the two wars, it burned to the ground and was build again. So it have had a hard life... But it is sooo beautifull and is placed in a really nice area.

Some of you may recognize it from the "Kornkammeret" products.

Uhmm apples ready to pick.... :)

Today is both a great and a sad day. Great because I will share this weekend with lot's of nice people, at a hostel in a great place :)

The sad thing is.... Today's my grandmothers first birthday after her death. OH my good I miss her soooo much. Only 4 months has passed without her on this earth. But I keep crying when seeing photos of her or thinking too much about our vacations in her and our grandfathers house.

Luckily she could have been 92 years old today... so we have had REALLY many very good years with her. :) I Love you Grandma... Happy Birthday!!

On my walk in the forest today, I found this little mushroom of a kind. So I had to get down on my belly to shoot it.

I love my walks there. I really get to empty my brain for stressing thoughts. You CANNOT feel depressed, when walking in a forest!!! :)

Fall is here!!! ..... oh you already knew?

I'm crazy about the colors out there and the light at this time of the year. Oh in the few hours it is here!!!

I do NOT like the cold and the darkness.

But with pretty colors and beautiful leaves, comes great photo opportunities ;) Nice!!

Btw... that is my favourite shoes you see on the photo! I have them in both black and red.... and wish I had them in yellow, green and all the other nice colors :)

This evening I drove over this bridge.... And with light on it... I can't help that I just HAVE to shoot it. I have photos of this bridge from sooo many angles and from so many different times of day. But still... I love shooting it. :)

This was shot hand held... I did not have my tripod with me.

Four of these white men is sitting watching the ocean, in Esbjerg. I have visited them quite a few times now... but still go there if I am in the city..... like today.

"Man meets the sea"

The monument is 9 m high and made in white concrete by the Danish sculpturer Svend Wiig Hansen in 1995. The monument is also called "Four white men". It symbolizes man meting nature and can be seen from a distance of 10km. When you are standing at the feet of the four white men, you really feel small.

Svend Wiig Hansen was a Danish Expressionist Painter, 1922-1997.

Self portraits isn't easy... at least not for me. I hate this side of the camera sooooo much.

But better take the photo myself, than to let someone else do it..... I think. Sometimes I wish I had a photographer friend who could convince me that he/she could take good pics of me!!!

I am just way to camera shy.

Sorry for the bad colors on the photo... It was taken with my Sony Cybershot... NOT good in bad light.

Miooow ....

I am looking after a little kitten today. Her "parents" went away for today.
Oh boy she is soooo cute. She could easily be a daughter of my own cat. My cat is a Birman with blue eyes and soooo cute looking with her cream fur.

Only difference is, that THIS little lady is a so called "farmers cat", but with goood genes ;) Her fur is short and she has some "flaws", compared to a Birman. The white spot on her nose. And the colors on her legs and so on.

But she doesn't know that and she is so hugable!! :)

I looove black and white... I have told that before, I know :) But I have noticed something... I use it mostly during fall and winter!! Maybe it just fits better, with dark leafless forrests?

Todays photo shows my daughter a few years ago. Back when she loved THAT side of the camera... now she want's to stay only on the, according to her (and me), "right side of the camera" ;)

I love black and white shooting, very very much. But shooting them IN black and white isn't as good and full of contrast, than if you do it in photoshop afterwards.

At least, that is my own humble oppinion :)

These bottles are old danish milk bottles, found in a garage. Dusty and dirty, but they're still making nice shadows.

You don't necessarily need a big expensive camera, to take good photos. It is very much about light and composition of your motive.

I went to the race track today! I looove beeing there, smelling the air and listening to roaring engines :)

And ofcourse the photo opportunity!

This accident almost startet a fight in the pitlane! Another driver apparently did not leave enough space for this guy to go by, so he ended up in the hay barriers.

Behind our house, there is an old abandonned building. Inside it's possible to see all kinds of surfaces and light.

I feel like tracking down some old abandonned factories!! You wanna join me?

Nanna was mowing my parents lawn today. And in their garden there is a butterfly-bush. I am not sure if that is the correct english name.

But never the less, I got pretty close to some pretty butterflies today :) I love butterflies.
