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.

Öja Kyrka

Öja Kyrka just outside Ystad, both taken with the ultra wide 14mm. Get too close and the slope of the walls gets out of hand because of the upward angle of the lens... I think I'll just refer to it as "arty".

 

Old Buildings in Ystad

Ystad is an ancient town with some interesting old buildings. Here are just two scenes featuring well preserved wood frame buildings.

 

Greyfriars Abbey - Ystad

 Greyfriars Abbey in Ystad is an abbey that was founded in 1267 and belonged to the Franciscan Order. Well worth a visit if you are in Ystad.

 

Vadensjö Kyrka (Church)

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.

Farm Building in Southern Sweden

 

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. 

D850, 24-120mm, f/8.0, 1/60s, ISO8000, hand held and processed in DxO PL6.

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.
