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…

Sunset at the Hammarsund bridge

July 27th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Today when I drove to my job I took a detour of about 15 km, and passed the Hammarsund Bridge just about sunset. These are some of the around 100 photos I took:

The bridge is located at the northern tip of Sweden’s second largest lake, lake Vättern.

I can say that it was definitely worth the extra fifteen kilometers to get these photos! And the road on this way is much better (not as curvy and hilly as the shorter way), which is a nice bonus.

Sunset at midnight

July 2nd, 2008 Peter Korkala

About one month ago I took this photo on my way home from work. I was working the evening shift, and I believe this photo was taken about 11:30pm. During summer the nights are not that dark here (it’s called White Nights), and further north - above the polar circle - the sun don’t set until sometime in August.
