Welcome back Claes. I was thinking about you at tmes. I'm glad you're not gone for good. Yes I understand work load. I'm facing it too. Hopefully some day you'll have more time. Glad you're still around.Originally Posted by ClaesGefvenberg

Yeah!! I missed your pictures, Claes. That glass art is quite stunning as is the calf. It's so good to have you back again.

kiz_paws, I love those beach pictures. The beaches near San Diego are very beautiful! I hope you had a good time down there.
ClaesGefvenberg, thanks for posting those pictures! That glass art looks very impressive.
Optima dies ... prima fugit
Thank you all for the welcome back.
You may very well be right. It felt like flint and behaved like flint, so I gave it no further thought in spite of the colour.
It is... even more so in real life
I have a treat for you, then. See below:Fantastic, Claes! My favorite would be the tiny frog.
Straight from the forest, this summer.
More "forest fruit"
Wire mesh art: Salamanders.
More wire mesh art.
Another little frog, but this one should not be handled. It's highly poisonous.
Another frog, just as poisonous as the first one.
another angle....

Oh my god those frogs colouring is amazing. Definitely wouldnt touch them.
The wire mesh art is beautiful and the fruit is making me hungry.

Wonderful to see you posting pictures again, Claes. Beautiful as always. Where did you take the shots of the frogs?

Claes, these photos are stunning. Glad you gave into the urge to post some more. Now I want to see even more. First, the bull is fanastic - the way you captured the lighting on it just so...that is just so golden and amazing....looks like a god-bull.As soon as Idril found out that I'm back I noted a request for more pictures... And who am I to say no? Here goes:
A (massive) stainless steel visent bull in Avesta, Sweden.
A tiny frog resting in my hand.
Glass art, on display in Varberg, Sweden, this summer.
Freshly cracked flintstones (the flint is inside) in Varberg, Sweden, 2007.
A razor sharp piece of flint from the stones in the previous picture.

The frog photo is so cool and did you realise you can even see your fingerprints in that photo - the detail is so fine? I sure hope the 'authorities' are not after you!
I love rocks and geology so I was fascinated by the flintstones you photographed. Wow, I used to watch "The Flintstones" cartoon on TV when I was a kid. I never really knew what a flintstone was before. Thanks for educating me. That piece of flint sure looks sharp. Is that what the primitives used to make fires with?
It is hard to tell exactly how the art is to be viewed but it certainly is interesting. You have a real photographer's eye for interesting shots. Keep them coming on here. I reposted your photos, since I think they are well worth seeing twice.
WOW, I had to revise this - I did not realise you just had posted more. I have to go look at those now. Great!
Kiz, nice ocean photos, too. I love the beach and the surf and ocean - it looks so peaceful there.

From on top of the Duomo of Florence.
A shot of St. Peter's Basillica in Vatican City.
An Italian villa, while I was on a boat ride.
A picture of the grande canal of Venice, mid-gondola ride.
Beautiful mountains in Switzerland.

Oh TEND those pictures are magnificent. I have never seen that villa. Was that on one of the northern lakes? It looks beautiful. Nice to see you back here.

They are all beautiful Tend (It's nice to see you back!), that Villa is absolutely breathtaking...and I'm always a sucker for nature pictures, those mountains are just gorgeous.

Those mountains look so LOTR TEND! very pretty.

That was taken in Victoria, BC, Canada during the summer.

Yes, it was real close to the border, actually the first stop I made after crossing over from Switzerland.
They are all beautiful Tend (It's nice to see you back!Glad you liked them, I have more but I think those were my favorite, I have one in Assisi I rather like and another in Florence off of a bridge thats beautiful (Florence is definitely the most beautiful city I've ever seen).

I actually think Venice is more beautiful than Florence. But both are great. Unfortunately all my Italian pictures are not digital so I can't share. At least not yet.
