Winter is coming closer. I took this photo a couple of days ago, and today we have around 5 cm of snow.

Winter morning

November 20th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Minus six degrees C, sunshine, and snow on the ground. This must be a good start for a day?

One photo per hour

November 16th, 2008 Peter Korkala

The other day (Wednesday, 12th) I was taking one photo per hour. I posted the photos on my swedish blog, and now I think it’s a good idea to post them here as well:

07.00

Making coffe. It’s snowing outside and the thermometer shows -1 C!

08.00

White and beautiful trees, but wet on the road (cell phone photo).

09.00

Today’s breakfast.

10.00

Switching to snow tyres.

11.00

A foggy lake in Grängesberg.

12.00

Demolition of an old house in Ludvika.

13.00

Still in Ludvika. View over lake Väsman towards the city center.

15.00

Getting some fire wood.

17.00

Doing some grocery shopping in Kopparberg.

18.00

Playing a little Guitar Hero with the boys. I’m not the winner… :)

19.00

Surfing and having some coffee. :)
And yes! I’m in the kitchen at the moment (that’s one of the advantages with laptops), but at least I have a decent chair.

20.00

Playing cards with Junior.

I’ve decided to write a policy about the EntreCard ads for my blog. I’m tired of the Make Money Online-blogs, and from now on I’m not going to accept them on my blog. Read my advertising policy.

Foggy Vasman - Sky Watch Friday

October 9th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Today’s SWF-photo will be a foggy lake Vasman, with a crisp cold blue sky above:

Fall is here, and I like it alot! At least as long as there are so many great colors out there. When everything is colored in different shades of gray, the nice part of the fall is over…

A foggy morning in Ludvika

October 8th, 2008 Peter Korkala

Yesterday morning we went to Ludvika to make some shopping. It was very foggy in and around Ludvika, so we took a trip to a nearby old mine, Lekombergs gruva to see the view from there. Usually you’re having a great view over the lake Väsman, but today there were only fog everywhere:

Dalporten

October 7th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This is the gateway to Dalarna when you come from the south at Road 50. Dalporten is located in Grängesberg, around 15-20 km from where I live.

Sky watch Friday - Silverhöjden valley

September 19th, 2008 Peter Korkala

It feels like this blog has turned to a Sky Watch Friday blog only, but that’s not intentionally. I’ve been pretty busy with work, and I don’t have had the right inspiration to blog. But I hope to get back to at least a couple of posts a week.

With that said, here’s this week’s photo:

The Northern mine in Garpenberg - Sky Watch Friday

September 5th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This is my current workplace - the (northern) mine in Garpenberg.

I really love my new job as a diamond core driller! This week was my first week underground in a mine, earlier commissions were above ground.

There are two mines in Garpenberg (both owned by Boliden) - Garpenberg north and Garpenberg south, but in 2004 they were connected under ground (at 800-900 meters). You can go down both by car and by the elevators.
