Sky watch Friday - at the top of the trees

June 18th, 2009 Peter Korkala

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!

My favourite lake

May 24th, 2009 Peter Korkala

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.

Twitter

April 12th, 2009 Peter Korkala

I’m trying out twitter for the first time. My name on twitter is pkorkala, and my twitter-url is http://twitter.com/pkorkala feel free to follow me. I’m not following anyone on twitter yet…

I’ve also buyed a new cell phone - a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. It’s very different from my last one (Sony Ericsson W660i), especially with the touch screen, and I’m satisfied so far.

Plans of today

January 6th, 2009 Peter Korkala

Salty roads

This is what a road in the winter should look like! I really hate the salt they’re spreading out on the roads as soon as they can. One of the really good things with the cold weather (below -6 C) is that the salt is useless, and we get this nice winter roads instead of the wet, ugly, salty ones.

A day off

Today it’s a bit warmer, around -8 C, so maybe it’s a good day for a trip somewhere? As this day is a holiday (January 6th, Epiphany), at least here in Sweden, I’m not at work today.

Work

Hmm… did I mention that I’m back at the brewery? Due to the recession I lost my job as a Diamond Core Driller (they’ve dismissed 49 out of 85 men), but luckily I could begin at the brewery (Kopparbergs Brewery) again, just two weeks later. I’ve been working as a supervisor at the filling lines at the brewery for six years before I started as a Core Driller.

Five weeks of education in Denmark

On Saturday I’m going to a five weeks education at Scandinavian School of Brewing (Bryggerhøjskolen) in Copenhagen, Denmark. It will be a tough challenge, but also a lot of fun. I’m going to live in Svedala, Skåne and take the train over the Öresund Bridge, every day. I hope there will be time for some photographing during the five weeks stay there!

New job

July 13th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Tomorrow I should’ve started my new job as a core driller, but unfortunately I’ll start my new occupation with being sick. Well I’m not sick as in being ill like having a headache or something, but my left elbow is broken. The last week (about three weeks ago) on my earlier job (Kopparbergs Brewery) I fell down a stair and broke my elbow, and got a gash in my head (about 3 cm).  But on Tuesday next week I will go to the hospital to remove the plaster, and then I’m going to start my new job for real!
