“It’s like taking to a wall” means, when said in Swedish, that the person you are talking to isn’t paying any attention to what you say and/or won’t follow any instructions or reflect over what you just said. Walls are silent, but many of the are expressive and have stories to tell.

Nope, walls are not mute even if they are silent.

 

Signs have been used for centuries and was a convenient way for the inhabitants and possible customers to find the blacksmith, the bakery, the pharmacy and so on. Times have changed but we still use signs for passing on information to whom it may concern. They may convey messages like “buy” or “sell” or, as in this case, convey more complex information like “One way” – in other words “Do not enter”.

It seems like some have taken advantage of this and added their information as something extra. Generally speaking, I’m no big fan of deeds like these, but on the other hand, I also feel that it’s necessary to post things like that here as well.

Today’s weather was just like is has been for a couple of days and going outdoors feels like being dressed in a wet blanket. If I stay indoors waiting for nicer weather, well then I’m likely to stay indoors for a couple of days or weeks or maybe a month or so. It won’t work, so took the camera and went out on an expedition.

To cheer myself up, I began taking what friends usually refer to as “Staffan Photos”. It helped and here comes a couple of them. Please buckle up and enjoy!

The weather has been bad for a couple of days in a row now. Grey skies, rainy and windy – to make it short: Not the conditions photographers, generally speaking, are particularly fond of. Still, one can’t be idle so I tried my luck with a couple of shots today and felt that a slightly soft black & white photo would be suitable.

 

 

I spotted a load of metal shelves in bundles and I think you can figure out the rest yourselves. The rest is not history – it’s photos.

Don’t you believe me? Please see for yourself then.

 

Waiting for the train to come can be boring but one can always take advantage of it and do something useful instead – like taking pictures for instance.

People who know my image style also know that I like strange angles and that I often post such photos here. Well, it’s been a while now since last time, bout here comes a couple of strange angles and shapes.
