Bryce Canyon and Sweden new images

Mora jetty in Lake Siljan, Mora, Sweden

Some of my Bryce Canyon photographs from last January have finally made it onto my web site. There was quite a bit of snow and we mostly snowshoed to move around. Lots of rock formations, shadows, patterns, the odd tree here and there. Not just for colour photographers!

There is also the first image from our Scandinavian trip last September / October. It's a simple shot of a jetty in Lake Siljan at the town of Mora in Sweden. The lake is the 6th largest in Sweden. Nice cloud or two, good reflections.

Swedish Lakes (and Trees)

Left Harnosand early, after scraping thick ice off windows of car. Jolly cold for time of year!

Headed back towards hills and lakes to Sveg and then Sarna. Dozens of lakes and millions of trees; mixture of conifers and silver birch mostly.

Took a few tree shots but also typical lake shots. Used a dark yellow filter to lighten the silver birch foliage which was a bright yellow / orange colour, as well as darkening the blue sky. Good clouds this afternoon.

Also found a church and separate wooden bell tower at Alvros, just east of Sveg.

Ended day at Mora by another lakeside. Lots of photos from shore, including trees, boats and the odd jetty.

A 6 film day (60 images).
Heading south tomorrow and expect to end the day close to Stockholm so that we can have most of Sunday in the city.
