Sky watch Friday - at the top of the trees

Peter Korkala — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:53:43 +0000

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!

This is where I work

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?

Photos of a beaver

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…

My favourite lake

Peter Korkala — Sun, 24 May 2009 17:30:00 +0000

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.

Sky Watch Friday - A view from the clear-cut forest

Peter Korkala — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:10:28 +0000

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!
