Plans of today

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!

Freeze!

January 4th, 2009 Peter Korkala

This morning the thermometer showed -21C… It’s getting colder and colder.

I’m very jealous of Ivar, I want 50 cm of snow too!

Monday morning, it’s still snowing

December 8th, 2008 Peter Korkala

It’s been snowing on and off this morning, but as I write this the temperature is climbing towards zero.

One better enjoy this while it lasts:

It’s snowing quite heavily in all the photos - I stood under an umbrella while taking them! It must have been quite a sight for the people passing by! :)

It’s still snowing!

December 7th, 2008 Peter Korkala

It’s been snowing since Friday afternoon… Today I started my day shovelling snow. We’ve recieved at least 20 cm (8″). It looks like a cristmas card wherever you look! Amazing!

It’s snowing

December 6th, 2008 Peter Korkala

It’s been snowing since yesterday evening, and it’s sooo beautiful outside! But as it’s still snowing I don’t want to go out with the camera - I don’t want it covered with snow…

Here are two photos from my bedroom window:

Gray snow clouds - Sky Watch Friday

December 4th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This is what it looks like here today. No blue sky in sight for miles… Not a very good photo for SWF, but I love the snow covered trees!

Update: The photo is not in B/W, it’s in full color…

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:

20.00
