It was an interesting comment, though, this part with typical Swedish photography. I haven't thought of it at all, what we share in our imagery, us Swedes (or Scandinavians, for that matter). In design, there is a clear distinction, and might it be that it also is one in photography. I can't say that i have had any particular Swedish influences, making this even more interesting. Thanks! :-) Thomas, i don’t take this as an insult, not at all. It was an interesting comment, though, this part with typical Swedish photography.

Love it, and it really confirms the old saying "the camera points both ways" - for me the visual style here is very typical for Swedish photography. Take it as a compliment or an insult... ;) (It was meant as a compliment!) Very special series!

The one comes with the other, to my blessing. Earl, you're so right about this with perceptual contrast, in fact that is something I found out about myself some 25 years ago, that I really enjoy the world better without my glasses. What you see in my images, is how I'd like to see things in reality. I always thought the world looks to harsh to my taste. And about those beaches, it's hardly impossible getting an image like this summertime, there's just too much people. Except this summer, maybe, but then we had an invasion of ladybugs. :-) Ray, If I say the lens makes me sing, I wouldn’t be far from the truth. The one comes with the other, to my blessing.

The "softness" works well with the cold harsh scenes...a type of perceptual contrast. It looks like a great time to have the beach to yourself! ;-) Ove, a wonderful series of photos.

Usually, they combine it with sauna. Imagine leaving 100°C to make a dip into some 0°C..... Thanks a lot, Ray, I can imagine you appreciate the wintry views of our coastlines. Regarding that soft focusing babe of mine, I must say it has made my photography shifted over to something completely different, and at the same time very familiar. It's more like painting, and I just love it. That was a very strategic choice, the title. :) And Paul, we certainly have such polar bears here, crazy people. Usually, they combine it with sauna.

If they keep me coming back for more looks they work well.

You got the feel of winter beaches for a lot of the world and certainly the feel of beaches at the latitudes I have lived. Beautiful series Ove, I am loving what you are doing with that lens.

You have shown me something that I have never seen ... snow on a beach! I've never considered such thing! :-) The only beaches that I've ever seen in my life are along the coast of the U.S., most of which is in the southern and western parts of the country, the Bahamas, Brazil, and Mexico. From your title, I thought that I was going to click over and see bikini-clad Swedish Baywatch babes! I got here quickly!!! ;-) I don't know if they have them in Sweden or Europe, but there are many polar bear clubs. Crazy people who like to hack holes in ice and go for a quick swim in the winter.
