    Black and white from Gotland

    I just love black and white photos. I think it gives a completely different feeling to sometimes quite ordinary photos when there is not color distracting the image.

    Taken with Leica M9 and 50 Summicron

    Low flying

    Low flying balloon over Västerås

    Short trip to Västerås for another exiting flight with the Rabbit-balloon! We did a quite long flight, over 2 hours instead of the normal 1-1,5 hours due to the absence of wind. People often think that the perfect weather for a balloon trip would be when the wind doesn´t blow at all. This would be true if you didn´t have to plan where to land. Since you can´t steer the balloon at all the pilot need SOME wind to be able to predict where he will land. During this flight there winds was almost nonexistent so we drifted everywhere before we finally found a good spot to land on.
