Pictures Taken By you...

I adore pictures, but I don`t take them of myself.


I`m not a photographer nor good at taking pictures.
I took this pic in the mountain, village called Hjula, during war.

I rather like that picture, Poetess.It's nice.

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. :rolleyes:

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

Hey Claes, has National Geographic hired you yet? They should!!!

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:

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

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

thx for sharing.I love these pics.

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!

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. :)

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:
