On the edge, a photo from Lappland, Norrland

Photographer's Note

We were really living on the edge that day. Or at least under the edge. Driving south-east along Ångermanälven we had the big rain on our left and an almost clear sky on our right for the whole day. Not a raindrop on us though but not to far away it rained 70 mm that day.

As we stopped for coffé in the little village Hälla, a typical group of houses arranged at a roadcross in a typical northern inland fashion we had this sky towards the north-east. I took a picture across the roadcross as we walked from our car to the little café.

Hi Ebbe,

looks like a scene from a Hitchcock movie. Excellent B/W picture with great sharpness and contrast. TFS

Hi Ebbe,
very calm image despite the dramatic heavy clouds in the
sky. Big house evokes shelter from either rain or empty
stomachs. I like the b/w conversion where the house seems
to have qualities of an infrared shot.
Interesting how the most of the length of the lamp post is
of a lighter colour than its top bit!?
Cheers,
Robi

hejsan Ebbe,
A lot of blues in this picture, can't see if it's "Eternit" as material in the House. it has a certain mood over itand my thought goes to the fantastic Photographer Sune Johnssons and his series from the inland of Västerbotten.
