Weekly Photo Challenge: Hidden

Posted by hakanronnblad on


Me and my daughter made a lunch stop in the beautiful village of Valldemossa
in the Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca.
After eating we entered one of the many tourist shops to take a peek.

In one of the shelves there was a piece of red cloth. The funny thing is that it was something hidden moving around frantically beneath it.
This was definitely more intriguing than the souvenirs in the rest of the shop.

Suddenly the enigmatic being made a  move towards the outside world.  Cautiously the cloth opened on one side and something reddish peeped out.  It was a bill and with it came an eye…

-Se llama Oscar, y es muy tímido!   The owner explained.

His name is Oscar and he is very shy!

Had the honor to be photographer at HannaKristin and Johns wedding in the summer of 2006.  The ceremony and the dinner took place at the beautiful island of Hönö. It is situated in the archipelago just outside Gothenburg on the swedish west coast.

Crayfish with salsa!

Salsa dance at the traditional August crayfish party?!
A few years ago nobody had even heard about salsa in Sweden.

Now as a side effect of immigration it´s getting popular. Some swedes are learning, and learning well.

It was a perfect after dinner activity at this particular party in Mollösund at the swedish west coast a couple of years ago.
Beautiful place!

Charcoal stack, Kolmila, Carbonero!

  Somewhere between Viñales and Puerto Esperanza in Cuba 2008.

I asked the Charcoal burner if it wasn´t bad for his health to work in that smoke all day long?
No, he said. I have been doing this for 35 years and I´m perfectly okay!

The last period for this kind of charcoal production in Sweden was during world war two.
