A week or so ago, it started snowing. I think it must’ve been a gift from England – their left-over sub-zero degrees passing over our island. I left early for class and brought my camera, snapping a few shots on the way. An hour into the class, it was apparent that I had taken a course very nearly identical to this one last year, and the tutor recognized me as the person who coded up their entire (table-based) tutorial assignment using CSS. I was excused.
On the way home, I stopped near a railway area that I pass daily, and got some photos. This is the best one:
A homeless person has built a small house for himself up against a heat pipe running past a container crane. He must be getting by, because he keeps 2 dogs with him too (they did not take kindly to my photography), and I assume the nearby Scandic hotel that probably owns the property must tolerate him, because his abode is pretty visible from the road.
Here’s a closer framing showing more detail at the compositional expense of the beautifully looming figure of the crane:
I took a bunch of other photos that morning, none of them quite as striking or thought-provoking as the ones above. But all of them featuring snow. Lots and lots of snow. Here they are, mouse over for short descriptions:

I still really like those pictures…
Thanks, I’m very happy with them myself. Usually when I photograph in the area near my home, I’m forced to look for interesting details in ordinary scenes or try to capture something I see every day in a new way to turn it into a meaningful picture, but this time I actually managed to find something really interesting and unusual in itself.
Clearly I need to take more walks along the deserted areas in the outskirts of the city, right between the urban and the suburban. I suspect a lot of interesting scenes are hidden in that area
“they did not take kindly to my photography” Of course, you are half feline
My favourite is the Bikes.jpg, the Home02.jpg is one of those that would probably win some award.
Has I’ve said before, these posts are very interesting, not just because of the pictures, but because of how you analyse/discuss them.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Especially as I’m far less secure in my photography skills than I am in my game design abilities
