The area that we live in is shaped by its history of mining. The copper mine of Falun is probably the best-known one as it once produced 2/3 of Europe's copper needs and its by-products resulted in red paint for houses all over the country....
Last week we woke up to a world covered under a cold white blanket, and even this week we're expecting some snow, but in between, it's pretty obvious that spring has arrived. Finally, we're seeing delicate flowers popping up and my nose is getting a...
Do you also love all the little details about your dog(s)? I certainly do and I can't resist sneaking up to them and capture it all. The texture of their wet noses is probably my favourite! Or the marks of their fur! With most lenses,...
