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!

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!

Turning Torso – Sky watch Friday

March 19th, 2009 Peter Korkala

Turning Torso in Malmö, the tallest building in Sweden. Photo taken on January 25th.

It’s not the best Sky Watch Friday-photo, but I wanted to participate today, and I couldn’t find any other photo with more “sky” in it…

A January sunset in Sundet

January 9th, 2009 Peter Korkala

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:

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…

Foggy Vasman – Sky Watch Friday

October 9th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Today’s SWF-photo will be a foggy lake Vasman, with a crisp cold blue sky above:

Fall is here, and I like it alot! At least as long as there are so many great colors out there. When everything is colored in different shades of gray, the nice part of the fall is over…

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.

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…
