Before the melt
Guess what? The ice has melted!
But only a few days ago, it lay thick
Under a blanket of fluffy clouds.
Ruby loves jumping on stuff and posing —
And I love taking snaps of her when she does.

De-light
It’s still very cold in the mornings and evenings (below zero) —
But oh, what a joy it is
To see the light returning in shades of orange
And lilac.

Feeling blue
The snow is gradually melting away —
But only last week, it lay thick in the fields
Below a blue canopy of silk.

Spring: Viking-style
Afternoon sunset
Finds us enjoying the cold.
The setting sun
Brings lilac with it
And tones of
Frozen gold.

Dragon skies
A fiery dragon
Swept across the sky —
Leaving behind
A purple haze.

Veils of fog
Fog – a majestic backdrop
For a red dog (or two);
Fog – veiling landscape
And sky;
Fog – settling on the ground
Like a silken scarf.
Fog.

Pink popcorn skies
The path leads through
Snowy beauty —
All the way
To pink popcorn cloud skies.

Golden veils
In between the snowfalls,
A hiatus of freezing fog:
Golden veils fall over the landscape —
Bringing peace, silence and beauty.

Romancing the city
Early morning dawn:
I take out my mobile phone as I sit in a car and capture
The romance of the sky over Stockholm.
(I like the way the car window frames the cityscape.)
On the way home from work,
Lilac and pink clouds
Bid the sun farewell at sunset.

Once in a blue moon
I wasn’t expecting to see the blue moon
At about half-past three in the afternoon.
But there it was – gracing the winter sunset;
Rising like a balloon
And being released into the sky by the trees.
For more stellar shots, please go to: Skywatch.
