Those are beautiful, Claes! I'll have to show them to my mother, she is obessed with all things Swedish. And it's wonderful to see it's still snowing somewhere because it's certainly not snowing here.

Themis, this is another one, same view and same valley.

Thank you all, for the nice comments. I noted a need to add some brief comments to each picture, and updated the previous post.
Please convey my regards to your mother. I'm afraid we have no snow either: Those winter pictures are from last winter.
Anyway: On with the show.. Here is another batch:
Wintery picture from New Years Eve 2004. Eskilstuna, Sweden.
Hare, right outside the window, at work in Torshälla, Sweden.
Tame rodent at Tom Tit's in Södertälje, Sweden.
Slightly outdated steam engine in Mariefred, Sweden.
Bouganvillea (I think) in Hammamet, Tunisia
Gate in Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia.
Busy night at Avenue Habib Bourgiba, Hammamet, Tunisia.
George the camel, outside Hammamet, Tunisia. (Two things should be noted: George was quite cranky, and he farted continually during an entire afternoon!).
Lemurs at Skansen Zoo, Stockholm, Sweden.

Wow, Claes. Your photos are very inspiring! It makes me want to take up photography! Do you work for a magazine?

Again, those are absolutely stunning, Claes! And I will certainly greet my mother for you, it will make her day.

thx for sharing.I love these pics.
For in my hand I still hold the rose that froze long time ago.
wow ,fascinating pics ,Cales, I'm a fan now.
Poetess, great pictures and I'm sorry that they were taken during the war. This virgin nature should never be spoiled.
Again some beautiful photos!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
You do know how to capture real beauty, Claes....
Yes please, do take up photography. If I achieve that, you have definitely made my day: I love it when I can inspire others I have never worked for a magazine, but I have in fact had some pictures published. As it happens I took up photography in the 70's (only black and white, back then - I even bought 35mm film in 50m batches and loaded the cassettes myself!). I spent many hours in the darkroom.
Thank you, and happy to oblige.
I know... I married her

Wonderful photos again Claes! I asore those century-old trains and how you captured the animals' activity. Their eyes full of vibrancy, their movements so spontaneous. And a street doesn't look that magnificent.
Now WHERE IS NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC?????

Time for another batch? Here we go:
A wintery creek in Torshälla, Sweden. I realize that this is not evident from the picture, but it was actually taken inside the premises of a Cold Rolling plant... where I happen to work.

Assisi, Italia. We visited it on a business trip to a supplier nearby.
