Common cranes (Grus grus)
Cranes loves to dance. They spread their wings and bow up and down. They also jump high up in the air.

This year I intend to give you a free desktop wallpaper every month. I made this desktop wallpaper 2560 x 1600 so it’ll fit everything from your iPad to your 30″ display.

I made this image in April 23, 2005. The camera I used was my very first digital SLR. It was a Konica Minolta Dynax 7D and I had a 300/2.8 lens on. In those days a great camera!
It was a cold morning and the sun has just risen above the horizon. The cranes seemed to freeze, but enjoyed the little warmth the sun provided.
Well, 2011 is coming to an end. It’s been a great year for me!
I photographed two weddings. Which was a wonderful experience and fun! I photographed the northern lights, and made the final image black & white. I had two exhibition, in Åsele and in Bjurholm. I did a lot of images with my iPhone. This is probably my favorite.
In April I spent the night in a hide at a capercaillie lek. And I was lucky to encounter and photograph more amazing birds.
Below is a small collection images that I made during 2011.
Happy New Year!
