The year 2013 is soon upon us and we will start the month of January with a snowy wallpaper, specially for you who do not get to see much of the snow and ice we have so much of here in Stockholm.
This photo was taken in the Nacka Reserve Forest at the end of November when the first snow had come to Stockholm.

I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year!
About a month earlier than we are used to the first considerable amount of snow covered Stockholm during the last two days. With a temperature of just below zero (C) it makes for a beautiful crisp white blanket covering the city and nature.
It gave me an excellent opportunity to take some early winter landscapes and test the weather durability of the Nikon D600. All photos were taken in or around Hellasgården in the Nacka Reserve Park on the south-east side of Stockholm and just about a stone throw away from my house.
Last weekend it was time again for Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. On Saturday, October 13th 2012, it was the fifth time the walk was organized and the second time I participated. This time we had a fully booked group with 50 photographers joining our Stockholm walk. On the image above you see our walk-leader, Max Gennel, giving final instructions to the group before we kick-off our walk.
Our walk led us through Vasastan towards and over Barnhus-bridge. We continued alongside the water, parallel Kungholmsstrand, on the north side of Kungsholmen all the way towards Ekelunds-bridge. From that point we walked over Karlbergsstrand into Vasastan again.
It was a rich walk with wonderful views over the city, beautiful sights over the water and plenty of autumn colored nature to photograph. After the walk we met up in a cozy restaurant, Oljebaren, and enjoyed a well deserved lunch.
Also this year it was great to meet and catch up with so many fellow photographers. A big thank you to our walkleader for a very well organized photo walk!
Below is a selection of the photos I shot during the walk:
Above: A panorama photo from Karlberg Palace. I stitched six photos together in Adobe Photoshop to create this panorama. The photo can also be viewed on the Panorama portfolio page. (click the image to enlarge)

A new panorama photo has been added to the featured gallery “Panorama”. Click the image above to view the large version.
The photo was taken from Skanstulls bridge in southern Stockholm and shows Hammarby canal. The left side of the photo is overlooking south-east Södermalm with the Sofia Church as its highest point. On the right side of the photo a small part of northern Hammarbysjöstad is visible.
A Nikon D600 with a 24-70mm lens was used to shoot multiple images, which were stitched together in Adobe Photoshop.
For the October 2012 wallpaper I have chosen an image of Stockholm. The photo is taken from Riddarholmen in central Stockholm overlooking Kungsholmen with a clear view on City Hall or Stadshuset (click the image above to view and download!).
During the photoshoot I also created a panorama view over Kungsholmen.
If you would like the wallpaper in another size just drop me a note.
