Rural reminicence, doors
Gammalt och slitet kan vara fult och tragiskt och ibland komiskt. Förgängelse kan också ske på ett vackert sätt. Varje dörr har ett eget känslouttryck, ibland sorgesamt ibland kärleksfullt, storståtligt eller ensamt och övergivet.
Under ett decennium har jag fotograferat jordbruksredskap, traktorer och övergivna hus, främst i mina hemtrakter, Västergötland, Dalsland och Värmland. Successivt överges, förmultnar, rivs och försvinner hus och ladugårdar från det gamla bondesamhällets epok.
Mina bilder är inspirerade av en lantlig stil med det slitna och patinerade som ideal. När färg åldras och krackelerar uppstår en intressant och vacker textur. Ibland påminner den flagade färgen om en rinnande akvarellfärg. Här visas ett urval av bilder av dörrar med själ och patina i svartvitt och i färg. Välkommen!

The old forest still in my soul
Gammelskog (Old forest) is a more or less untouched forest. In an old forest there are trees of different kinds and of all ages. There are dead tree trunks that still stand up and "flames", tree trunks that are felled on the ground and slowly decompose. There are lots of fungi, herbs, insects, birds and other animals. Such a forest is vital for biodiversity.
The areas of old forest have fallen sharply in Sweden during the 20th century. Only two percent of all productive forest land below the mountain range in Sweden is permanently protected and every year more old forest is harvested than is protected.

Pearls of the sea
The shape and color of the boats reflected in the surrounding water, that is the theme of this minimalistic exhibition.
I have the benefit of being able to enjoy the ocean in the east and west as well as the lakes and rivers in my homeland and everywhere there are boats with beautiful colors and shapes that have inspired my photography.

Loneliness in the landscape of the Ebro delta.
The landscape of Ebro Delta is magical with open skies, vast land and sea. The houses create a mood of loneliness and abandonment.

Dancing Anemone nemorosa
Magic moments in dance with the wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa). The Swedish name of the flower is "Vitsippa" wich means "The white crown". The name refers to the crown that the eight white petals form. The medieval king chronicles, and often even chandeliers, often had eight toes.
Welcome.

Aging is beautiful. The poppy is one-, two- or perennial frost-resistant plants originally from temperate areas in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. The big flowers are on top of long, hairy stalks. The flower color may be purple, white, yellow, orange, red or pink. The petals are usually four in number. They are thin and silk-like, and the flowers can be simple or filled.
