Silhouettes From The Past by 


Iron Age standing stones forming
a ship. It served as a burial place
and is surrounded by several low
burial mounds and stone formations.
At the time of its construction, this
place was situated by the North Sea
and could be seen by all seafarers
travelling along the coast.
The nearby farm is called Blomsholm,
and it´s on the Swedish west coast
near the Norwegian border.
The first Norwegian kings to try and
Christianize Norway came from
this area. It was part of Norway
until 1648.

I am a nature lover and an amateur photographer.
Nature is my main inspiration.Snow and ice, birds and water keep attracting my eye. So do trees amd flowers.
I am also interested in myth and history, especially the history of women, the `herstory´. I love to travel and to visit archeological sites and beautiful landscapes.
I use a compact camera, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28
