Winter morning

November 20th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Minus six degrees C, sunshine, and snow on the ground. This must be a good start for a day?

One photo per hour

November 16th, 2008 Peter Korkala

The other day (Wednesday, 12th) I was taking one photo per hour. I posted the photos on my swedish blog, and now I think it’s a good idea to post them here as well:

07.00

Making coffe. It’s snowing outside and the thermometer shows -1 C!

08.00

White and beautiful trees, but wet on the road (cell phone photo).

09.00

Today’s breakfast.

10.00

Switching to snow tyres.

11.00

A foggy lake in Grängesberg.

12.00

Demolition of an old house in Ludvika.

13.00

Still in Ludvika. View over lake Väsman towards the city center.

15.00

Getting some fire wood.

17.00

Doing some grocery shopping in Kopparberg.

18.00

Playing a little Guitar Hero with the boys. I’m not the winner… :)

19.00

Surfing and having some coffee. :)
And yes! I’m in the kitchen at the moment (that’s one of the advantages with laptops), but at least I have a decent chair.

20.00

Playing cards with Junior.

A foggy morning in Ludvika

October 8th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Yesterday morning we went to Ludvika to make some shopping. It was very foggy in and around Ludvika, so we took a trip to a nearby old mine, Lekombergs gruva to see the view from there. Usually you’re having a great view over the lake Väsman, but today there were only fog everywhere:

Dalporten

October 7th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This is the gateway to Dalarna when you come from the south at Road 50. Dalporten is located in Grängesberg, around 15-20 km from where I live.

Sky watch Friday – Silverhöjden valley

September 19th, 2008 Peter Korkala

It feels like this blog has turned to a Sky Watch Friday blog only, but that’s not intentionally. I’ve been pretty busy with work, and I don’t have had the right inspiration to blog. But I hope to get back to at least a couple of posts a week.

With that said, here’s this week’s photo:

The Northern mine in Garpenberg – Sky Watch Friday

September 5th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This is my current workplace – the (northern) mine in Garpenberg.

I really love my new job as a diamond core driller! This week was my first week underground in a mine, earlier commissions were above ground.

There are two mines in Garpenberg (both owned by Boliden) – Garpenberg north and Garpenberg south, but in 2004 they were connected under ground (at 800-900 meters). You can go down both by car and by the elevators.

Sky watch Friday – Shades of gray

August 28th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This week’s photo will be a large contrast to last week’s sunset – misty hills on a rainy evening.

Sunset in the woods – Sky Watch Friday

August 21st, 2008 Peter Korkala

Here’s a fresh photo (about one hour old) from today’s sunset in the woods:

Happy Sky Watch Friday everyone! And thanks for all the great comments in my earlier SWF-posts!

If you’re one of my fellow SWF-visitors, why don’t you also take a look at my photo of the Lunar Eclipse the other night? First I was thinking that I should use it as this week’s SWF, but I couldn’t wait to put it up here in my blog…

A walk in the woods

August 20th, 2008 Peter Korkala

We were out in the woods for a walk this afternoon (between showers). It was really nice – the air is so fresh out in the woods – and you’re almost guaranteed to get some good photos.

A very common sight this summer

August 20th, 2008 Peter Korkala

The garden table full of water. It feels like it has rained all summer, with very few exceptions.
