Images from my walk in the forest yesterday. I show the good parts. What I don´t share is the damage the wild boars have made on the forest floor since I visited the forest last time. It was devastating. :(

I´m going through the files from my trip to Japan 2 years ago and I am posting some on Instagram. Came across this one and thought it was suitable for skywatch. Especially as our sky is mostly grey this winter. This is a bit enhanced in color but not much.

Goldcrest

When it comes to birds I was lucky today. On my walk around a lake I noticed a movement in the grass. It was a Goldcrest. A bird I have not seen in years. And when I saw them it was only for a few seconds. They are so quick and moves on at once.

This time, however, was different. It was in the grass for several minutes. On the other hand I got problem following it. A strong sunlight was also difficult and the mist I got on the camera that dimmed my sight. Most of the time I just saw it´s bottom.  Took a lot of shots so I should be certain to have at least a few worth sharing.

This is the best shots I have from this bird, if I don´t count the ones I have from a ringing session. But that time they were captured and handled by personnel.

Tested a "bad" cat image in Topaz and found a nice wood filter in it. The snowy condition had taken all detail out of the snow. This filter, kind of, saved it.

This is why I don´t like glass in front of art. No matter where I stood I was reflected. Or anyone else.

I found a new toy that I started to explore. For a long time I have wanted a feature that makes this "simple" type of sketches as I don´t know how to do it on my own and my version of Photoshop don´t look like this. So, I will keep this program :)  Topaz!

Skies at Eriksberg

A part of the Eriksbergs castle. A huge barn, I think for grain,  and houses, maybe staff quarters.
And the grey one. Not sure of it. I peeked in there once and there was old stuff inside. Maybe a small museum? (Turned out to be an old stable for horses.)
