Danger at a distance. Fara på avstånd.

Fara på avstånd. Kalifornien | USA Maj 2012 (English will follow...) Vi var på väg till Monolake när detta spektakulära visade sig på himlen! Vi var faktiskt redan sena som det var, men vi var tvungna att stanna och ta fram utrustningen. Idag är jag så glad att vi gjorde det. Jag har aldrig sett något liknande, varken före eller efter. Det ser farligt ut men vi stod på ett säkert avstånd. Jag använde mitt 70-200mm objektiv och tog omkring 16 exponeringar som jag senare slog ihop i Photoshop, så det här är en riktigt stor fil. Danger at a distance. California | USA We were on our way to Monolake when this spectacle showed up on the sky! We were actually late as it was, but we just had to stop and bring the gear out. Today I'm so glad we did. I've never seen anything like it before or after. It looks dangerous but I was photographing it from a safe distance. I used my 70-200mm and took about 16 frames and stitched them together in PS, so this is a really big file.

Sunrise at Mono Lake

Mono Lake In spring 2012, I was at Mono Lake for the first time in my life. I had seen pictures of Mono Lake so I was very excited to see it. When we got there early in the morning I could hardly believe my eyes! It was, if possible, even more beautiful than I hoped for! This incredible place and the light we were treated with, was absolutely magical! This was my very first picture I took that morning.

Fire in the sky, Mono Lake

Fire in the sky I like the reflections in the water and the details in the very unusual looking rocks at the shore of Mono Lake in the foreground. In the far distance you can see the mountains of Sierra Nevada glowing. And in the sky there is a giant burning plane...!

Looks like we're in for nasty weather

Looks like we're in for nasty weather I can not help that I get that good old song on my mind when I see this picture. But I was at a safe distance when I took the picture on my way through the High Sierra and heading towards Mono Lake.

Mono Lake and High Sierra, High Sierra on fire

Mono Lake and High Sierra Mono Lake is spectacular in itself. If you then get the peaks of the High Sierra to glow as a background it ought to be really good :-) High Sierra on fire High Sierra is being lit by the rising sun as seen from Mono Lake an early morning. 

Early morning at Mono Lake

Looking out over Mono Lake

For everyone Struggling! When you scratch the surface, we are all struggle with something. Many of you are fighting for someone else's sake. To them, you are their solid rock. You make their lives all the difference in the world! There is a fine balance between showing that you your self can be weak at times and at the same time being strong. But to me, that's what empathy is all about. I hope you can raise your head and see some light on the horizon. There's a day for everything these days, why isn't there a "Fighters day"? For me, this is the Fighters day and I send a thought to all of you who are fighting out there! Looking out over Mono Lake I took this at seven o'clock in the morning. It's a panorama consisting of three pictures. The experience to stand there and see all this was unreal!
