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 though, but I love the snow covered trees!

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…

Sky watch Friday - Polar stratospheric clouds

August 1st, 2008 Peter Korkala

This Sky Watch Friday is from last week - I put up the wrong link in the Sky Wath Friday-comment… This weeks SWF is found here. But you may want to look at this too… :)

This Friday’s Sky Watch Friday photos will be from my archive (I think that’s Ok?), more specific from January 25, 2008. This day I saw a strange phenomena that i’ve never seen before - clouds called Polar stratospheric clouds (read about them on Wikipedia).

They are very impressing, and I took a lot of photos!

I think I need to say that the photos are not Photoshopped, only resized.

My first Sky Watch Friday

July 18th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This is my first contribution to Sky Watch Friday:

The old Court House in Kopparberg (see more pictures of it here).

Update:

I took a photo of the rainbow a couple of minutes ago (actually it’s two rainbows), and since it’s Sky Watch Friday I have to put it here, of course:
