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?

I’m a bit late with my Sky Watch Friday-post this week too, but I didn’t have the time to make the post yesterday. That was good though, because today I hade the chance to get this beautiful sunset captured on (digital) film.
Sundet is a tiny, tiny village between the tiny village Ställdalen and the large village Kopparberg. Sundet means The Strait in Swedish.
The first photo was taken to the east:
And the second photo is to the west:

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:
Making coffe. It’s snowing outside and the thermometer shows -1 C!
White and beautiful trees, but wet on the road (cell phone photo).
Today’s breakfast.
Switching to snow tyres.
A foggy lake in Grängesberg.
Demolition of an old house in Ludvika.
Still in Ludvika. View over lake Väsman towards the city center.
Getting some fire wood.
Doing some grocery shopping in Kopparberg.
Playing a little Guitar Hero with the boys. I’m not the winner… :)
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.
Playing cards with Junior.

The central parts of Kopparberg. The red house to the left is the police station.
I took this through my windscreen, but it’s rather good anyway. I love the strong colors and the contrast against the dark sky.

Malmtorget, central Kopparberg:
Malmtorget means Ore square in English, it sound’s really strange. :)
Kopparberg is in the middle of an old mining area called Bergslagen, hence the connection to Ore. We’re having many street names and such with connection to the mining industry.

The church in Kopparberg was begun in 1635, more than 370 years ago. In February 2006 the church was voted as the most beautiful church in Sweden. The voting was held by a magazine called “Året Runt”. The church’s name isn’t “Kopparbergs kyrka” (kyrka is the swedish word for church) but Ljusnarsbergs Kyrka. Ljusnarsberg is the name of the municipality.

The house with the clock tower (do you call that a clock tower even if it’s not that heigh?) is the old courthouse of Kopparberg. Kopparberg is the seat of Ljusnarsbergs municipality in which I live - but I live in a tiny, tiny village located 15 km north of Kopparberg. Today the tourist information bureau is located in the old courthouse.
The sky in this photo is very overexposured, but it have to do anyway. I took this photo earlier today when I was in town to make some grocery shopping. (Heres a link to the same photo, but with a better sky, thanks Photoshop.)
And by the way, please correct me if you find something wrong, or a strange expression, in my posts. One of my purposes with this blog is to get more experience in writing about all and everything in English, and I’ll be glad if you tell me when I type something wrong, (i.e. misspell a word or use the wrong grammar).
If you do that, you’ll help me improve my English writing. Thanks in advance!
