Today’s photos is from one of my favourite places, a small forest lake in Grängesberg (Sweden) where you’re almost at the same level as the top of the trees. There is so much sky to look at!

The photo is from this truck:

But I don’t drive trucks at work, I work in the filling-area (mostly at the can filling line) at Kopparberg’s Brewery. Did you know that Kopparberg’s Pear cider is the world’s largest cider brand?

This Wednesday I saw two beavers swimming around in the lake in Sundet. It was a fabulous feeling to be so close. I had the EF 80-200 lens mounted at that moment, and I didn’t want to waste time switching to the 400 mm. But next time I will bring you some 400 mm beaver shots. :)
Some of the photos are cropped.

Today’s trip in the woods ended up with photos of two birds, one European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) and one Black Grouse or Capercaillie – I cannot tell the difference…

This is my favourite lake, just about 10 minutes from here by car. Located in the middle of nowhere, in the woods:

It’s the same lake as in the last Sky Watch Friday-post.

The other day we were at our favourite lake in the woods, but this time we found a new place where we were high above the lake. A really nice spot we definitely will return to!

We went for a evening walk yesterday evening. It was a fantastic light in the sky, and at the same time the clouds made nice sihouettes.
