The last days before coming back to Danmark.
An unusual landscape, after many days sourrounded by woods, forests and lakes.
A flat island, and almost completely devoid of trees: Öland.
Peculiar….
So peculiar that I’ve taken about 150 photos in these two days.
And I’ve chosen one third, to show you.
Because a lot of photos are needed to describe properly the various landscapes….

The typical windmills (corrently about 250, on the over two thousands existent an hundred years ago):

In a trip in southern Sweden, one of the charatheristic sights is the Göta Kanal.
Built in the late XIX Century, this 190Km long canal has boon its importance to link the Vättern lake to the Baltic Sea.
We met a pair of the 58 locks, where we could admire the perfection of the engineering works, opposed to the complete inability of the tourists to manage it.
The result was funny…
Undoubtedly, the locks are a good subject for the photos…

Let’s start the summer holiday’s trip!
Of course, not in this very moment… but this is the first gallery to describe the trip Francesca and I had last summer.
It began in a outstanding night, the day before last Francesca’s birthday.
From Grenaa’s harbour, by ferry, til Varberg, in Sweden.
One of the brightest summer’s nights.
We waited briefly for the ferry, at eleven o’clock PM:

April 2008, two days after my birthday.
The first weekend in Danmark, still in a B&B in København.
There was a great weather, so we had a day trip to Møn ø, south-east of Sjælland.
Probably, the most important natural attraction in this island are the cliffs on the east coast.
Møns Klint, are called, and are the highest cliffs in Danmark.
About 120mt of white chalk, over a light green sea.

I hadn’t the D700 yet, and for these trip I used my couple of zoom (17-35 and 70-200VR).
Maybe the telezoom is not the best choiche, but the sunny day helped me: the ultra-saturated color rendition had returned good shots.

I shooted in the afternoon’s beginning, when the shadow start to cover the cliff’s bottom.
I think it’s the best moment of the day, but great attention is needed to take the best moment to stop the light games…

We walked for a pair of hours both following the path on the top and on the beach at the bottom of the cliffs.
I know the flora and fauna are very peculiar in that island, but that day we were attracted only from the landscape, the milky sea (because the chalk, of course) and the pale colors around us.
Here a selection from the circa sixty shoots I made to klint. Enjoy.

I’ve just returned back from Sverige… Two intense weeks walking around the south, in Götland and til Uppsala.
I need some other days to manage more than thousand photos…
…Still thinking to the trip to Varberg, the first night…

Last Sunday weather was the best as possible, here in Nordjylland. The ideal day for a little trip til North Sea.
After a pair of hours into Bygholm Vejle’s Nature Reserve (something like the birdwatcher’s heaven), me and Fra went to the northen coast, in another natural park, on the Bulbjerg Klint.
These beautiful 47 meters tall’s cliffs host one of the nesting and breeding’ site for a rare gull: the kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla or Ride, in danish).

But, first we saw the cliffs from the top, where the landscape is one of the best wiew possible in Jylland.
Something like this:

This is… ...my personal site, created to share my hobby.
All the photos in this container are my own interpretation of the world in front of me.
Until now the results of my work were only for my closer friends, now all the guests have the possibility to see my photos.
I would be very glad to have comments, review and critics, and this new dress for my site is for that.
So, let's start to see MY GALLERIES...
