Thanks for sharing it Ove. I am particularly drawn to the top image - there is a certain mood and spirituality associated with it that I can't quite place my finger on.

I'm quite sure the image had been satisfying to my eyes also if I had used an regular lens. I did change to a regular wide-angle after a few minutes, but I was really too cold to bather try to make the same shots again. It was terribly cold. :) Thank you very much, Markus!

That path leading into the scenery is a key component in my eyes, as well as the balance by the moon. The latter is that icing on the cake that makes the image special not only graphically but also through all the symbolism we connect with this celestial body. Re. the lensbaby I am not so shure if it really adds to the image. Of course it's a matter of taste, but for my part I could envisage the same scenery tack sharp and maybe this technical sharpness would make the contrast between imagery and symbols at least as strong.

Yes, it's dated to be around 1400 years old, but regarding the origin, there are at least two theories. Officially, it is a ship setting, but there is also a theory that explains the stones as some kind of astronomical instrument. Thanks, Karen!

I especially like the first one. I looked up Ale stenar and discovered scientists believe it was created about 1400 years ago. Good for you for getting up so early, and in the cold - I'm not particularly good at doing that myself, even though I know it's a great time for photography. Really lovely shots there, Ove.

I love the strong contrast and tones of these shots. Ove, What an exciting early morning adventure and the resulting rewards, these photos, are wonderful!
