To see clear, resist the drag of  images

Sometimes when you are tired the mind makes unexpected interpretations. I took some photographs of a fly on a catkin, and then there was also a photograph of a dry old tree, and for some reason my brain thought that there is a giant fly hanging from the top of the tree. Strange, isn't it?

The bond of live things everywhere

I have got about nine hours of exercise so far this week, six hours riding the bicycle and three hours walking. I felt a bit tired after commuting by bicycle on Tuesday and Wednesday, but today I felt good.

These photographs were taken in the forests near lake Munkträsk. This isn't a place I would recommend visiting, as there has been a lot of logging going on in the forests, including clearcutting.
