A Few More Around Town

While I was out and about on my bicycle on Friday evening I took several other random pics around town, five of which I will post here. I really like our town and I admire what a great job the town council does to keep it looking as beautiful as it does.

Nikon D850, Nikkor 24-120mm f4 lens, hand held, aperture priority, auto ISO, processed in DxO PL 8.

Water Tower in Landskrona (yet again)

Whenever you are in Landskrona one of the dominating features is the water tower down near the beach and harbour area. I have photographed it many many times but somehow I'm always drawn to capturing it just... one... more... time... 😋

Photos hand held as usual, D850 and 24-120mm lens, processed in DxO PL 8. 





 

Landskrona Citadel After Sunset

The Landskrona Citadel is a much photographed landmark here in the small Swedish town of Landskrona in southern Sweden, but by far the best time to photograph it (according to me) is a little after sunset. It is well lit by tungsten lights which light up the red brick walls in a glowing red that just doesn't present as well during daylight hours.

I took these hand held with my trusty D850 and the Nikon 24-120mm f4 lens, processed in DxO PhotoLab 8.




 

Lock Stock and Barrel Restaurant on Halfmånen Beach

Every year on Halfmånen Beach in Landskrona they set up a temporary restaurant for the duration of summer, this year it is called the Lock Stock and Barrel Restaurant. It seems to be quite popular, though I confess I have never actually eaten there.

As is my habit I took some photos there while out on a late evening cycle around town.

Quiet Streets of Landskrona

Landskrona isn't exactly a hive of activity after dark. These were taken early on a Saturday evening when most other towns are buzzing. 😀

All taken with the D850 and the 24-120mm lens hand held and processed in DxO PL6.




Bokhandel Landskrona

Taken out side the Bokhandel (book store) in downtown Landskrona looking towards the main town square and old city hall.

Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f4, @ 24mm, f8.0, 1/200s, iso 8000, hand held, processed in DxO PL 6.

Landborgspromenaden (part 2)

 The Landborgspromenaden is a hike/walk in the southern Swedish province of Skane through the town of Helsingborg going from north to south. There is a map of the route available online, just click here.

Recently a friend asked if I would like to join him on the walk so we packed our lunch into a backpack and hit the road & it turned out to be a wonderful walk through wooded and park areas that run through Helsingborg and includes several places of historical interest along the way.

I have split the the photos I took along the way into two posts, part one is mostly just the nature scenes and part two includes human aspects like buildings.

Landskrona Fairylights

Fairylights in downtown Landskrona make everyday look like it's a festive occasion, even if not much really happens at all...




 

Evening Pathway

A peaceful evening pathway heading promisingly through a park towards central Landskrona.

Playful Fountains

Fun fountains that dance with a variety of colours and light up this little open area. Kids love to play here and run and jump in the water on a warm summer evening... not been to many of those this summer. 


Fountain at Blue Hour

This fountain is located on a roundabout in the small town of Landskrona in southern Sweden. While cycling past there last night I stopped and snapped this shot with my D850 and 50mm f1.8G, handheld. Edited in DxO PL6. The magical hour or so after sunset is my favourite time to photograph in town, when the light is balanced just right between sky and electric lights something beautiful happens and the colours are superbly saturated while the lights just sparkle. Magic!

Smygehuk

Smygehuk is a small harbour and fishing village more well known as the southern most point of Sweden. Here are just a few pics from down south.


The southern most place one can stand on dry land and still be in Sweden.
