There is a pretty church at the picturesque hilltop town of Vadensjö that can be seen from long distances away and driving towards Vadensjö today I stopped by the roadside to take this photo.

Flowering Trees in an Urban Area
These trees (no idea what they are called) have been flowering for a couple of weeks now and are a really beautiful highlight in what is an otherwise slightly bland urban area.

The Prettiest Theater in the Whole of Landskrona
I like this building, it's simply very photogenic and nice to photograph... and just for clarity, it's also the only theater in Landskrona.

Random Architectural Photos From Around Town
Nothing quite like just wondering about around town pointing the camera at random stuff and taking pictures. So without further ado, random architectural detail photos from around town.
Inside the Old Landskrona Town Hall
After 11 years of living in Landskrona I finally had the opportunity to get inside the old city hall with my camera. I was taking photos on behalf of an organization that works for collaboration between the various Scandinavian countries called "Föreningen Norden" and that meant I could get some great pics of this spectacular building from the inside. A win-win situation!
(Now I feel the need to get back inside with a tripod and a wider lens... oh well.)
First the Landskrona Rådhus from the outside:
...and now the central public areas on the inside:

More Nikon 16mm Fisheye Experimenting
The Nikon 16mm Fisheye lens is a quite remarkable piece of tech in that it can actually record a full 180°. This sucker can see sideways! But straight from the camera the best I could get was this:
Not as wide as hoped and of course a little dull and dark... put it through DxO PL6, adjusted a few settings and discovered that there was more photo that was not originally revealed:
I then decided to squeeze a bit more out, played with the manual distortion buttons a bit as well and got this very wide and less fisheye looking photo:
Along the way I found that this lens really has very limited use but if used creatively in the right setting it can deliver interesting results. Not every bodies cup of tea, but interesting none the less.

Citadellkliniken
This clinic is right by the beachfront area of Landskrona and across from the Citadel area. I photographed it at night almost two hours after sunset, hand held. Nikon D850, Nikon 35mm f1.8 lens, iso 8000, f5.6, 1/60s, -1.0 EV, processed in DxO PL6.

Swedish Hobbit House
In a part of the earthen wall defenses of the Landskrona Citadel there is this entrance to what can only be a Hobbit house. (I assume it's actually some kind of storage room) Very Middle Earth.

Harbour Scenes
The harbour area around the Landskrona City Hall area is certainly worth a visit with its blend of old and modern buildings. Very photographic indeed.

Landskrona (again)
Living in this beautiful little southern Swedish town means that I get to photograph it quite a lot... here are some more.

Häljarps Mölla
I have seen this old windmill, outside the town of Häljarp, from the train many times over the years but never sought it out to photograph it until this last weekend and I'm glad I did, it is a beautifully preserved example of a 1700's mill & great to find one in such wonderful condition. The mill was in continuous operation from 1784 until the 1940s and donated to the local heritage association in 1952. The windmill is now a listed building.

Graffiti Done Right
I am not always a great fan of graffiti, mostly it's just the ugly scrawls of delinquents defacing public property that ends up costing the taxpayer millions each year to remove. But done right it can become a great local art exhibit that enhances an otherwise dull and dreary space into an attraction of colour and beauty. This pedestrian tunnel under a road is just wonderfully done and turns a grey concrete structure into eyecandy. Well done to the group of young people that created it and also to the local council that granted permission for it. 👍

New Apartment Complex
New apartment complex being built in Landskrona, right downtown. Looks like it may be finished soon.
