Persongalleriet #728: Prague, Tuesday

April 11th, 2017.
We took an early morning walk down to the river and Charles Bridge. Early morning means not too many tourists and it turned out this fact was not only used by us, but also the wedding photographers.

Glutton.

We returned to our hotel to enjoy the great breakfast and a shower before heading out to the modern art museum, Veletržní palác - Národní galerie v Praze.

Anna-Lena at the modern art museum.

This is me being inspired to try and create some art when at the museum.  :-)

After the museum we did the shopping thing for a while.

Tourist shot.

In the evening we went to a jazz club for some live music.

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #703: Hong Kong, Saturday

March 4th, 2017.
On Mr. Ming's advice I rode the tram to  Wan Chai and walked up and down backstreets and main streets alike, working my way towards Causeway Bay. All the while taking in the markets and activity all over. A truly great environment for street photography!

View from the double decker tram.

Southorn Playground.

If  the Friday was ferocious streeting, whis is often the case for me on first days, on this day I tried to find lines, angles and generally think a little bit more. Hard to do when there are so many people and so much interesting going on at the same time!

Wan Chai Market.

Best friends.

After 5 hours I decided I needed some rest and went back to the hotel. Rejuvenated, I found the energy to do an evening walk as well. This time walking towards the water and the Ferry terminal. Here I found mostly modern, large scale, architecture which inspired me to slow down even more and find the compositions. The photos shown below are from the last 5 minutes of my day.

The stairs up to my hotel.

That's enough blogging for now, Victoria Peak and the Star Ferries await!

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #652: Last Day in Beijing

July 3rd, 2016.
Or the last day before the travel day at least... I've decided to be lazy on that day and I will probably not take pictures at the airport.

But on the Sunday, I did take some pictures. I chose the Summer Palace for my last day. I guessed there would be no lack of subjects there on a summer Sunday. And I was correct! The Summer Palace is a vast place where the Emperors and his posse went to cool down slightle in the Beijing summer heat. Nowadays open to the public to marvel at temples and chillax in the park.

Going up that Longevity Hill IS a bit of a climb!

And once you climb the stairs you find out there are more stairs!

And some more!

But once you get there it's a lot of fun!

You can be with your loved ones!

There is beauty!

And.....you can climb rocks!  :-)

That's it from the Beijing Live Blog! Beijing pictures will show up in my blog for months and months...but it will not be live. Well, strictly speaking I got about two days behind, so I'm back in Sweden when I publish this.

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #646: Beijing, Day 14

June 27th, 2016.
Time for some big business in Beijing CBD and more than that, some big architecture! Started out with Beijing's most spectacular example: The CCTV building. Approached from the north and found some shots on the way:

Well Spaced.

Granny Football.

Lunch Break.

Getting closer. There is "Big Underpants" in the background.

Umbrella Blues.

Playing with Angles.

Fit the Frame.

Triangle of Squares.

Be well, everybody!
