Picture of golden reflections in water and a snowy stone
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera February 5th 2007. Click image for larger view.

Another picture I took back in February. At this time of the year the sun is only shining for a hour or two and in this photo the sun has disappeared below the horizon. The golden reflections are coming from sunshine higher up in the snow filled mountains. It was a very beautiful sight.

Look closely at the picture. Doesn’t the stone look like a crocodile head?

Photo of winter trees - Norway Spruce covered with snow

Took this picture back in February when the forest was filled with snow. I think the scene looks like it is taken straight out of “The Chronicles of Narnia” with all the snow hanging on the Norway Spruce.

This place can be quite spooky in the summer as the trees make a very dark passage in the forest.

Black and white photography is not a thing I have done much of, but I think it suited very well with these wonderful snow textures. The wind is a talented artist!

You might notice that the photo was taken back in February. Have been a bit busy and it have been raining all the time so few photos lately. Hope it will change soon 🙂

Photos of cowberry / lingonberry plants – as flowers and berries

Photo of cowberry
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on August 27th, 2007. Click picture for larger view.

In this photo you can see ripe cowberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), also known as lingonberries (and foxberry, mountain cranberry, lowbush cranberry, and partridgeberry). I have been collecting several kilograms of these lovely berries the last few days. I use cowberries mainly as jam or compote accompanying meat dishes, especially game meats. They have a tart taste so they are perfect with meat.

In old times, when people didn’t have a freezer, cowberry was used as a natural preservative because of their high content of benzoic acid. It was mixed with other berries, like cloudberry, to make the berries edible throughout the winter.
Cowberry was (and is) an important source for vitamin C, A and some B vitamins.

Our family is pretty much self sufficient with cowberries, but I believe you can buy cowberries at IKEA in rest of the world?

Here is a close up picture of cowberry flowers.

I enjoyed how the sun was hiding behind the clouds in this sunset photo. The glow in the clouds looked was really special and made a nice sight.
Hope to see more good weather like this in September 🙂
