This pretty flower is very rare. It’s of the orchid family. Everything on Peberholmen has been brought there by coincidence. 15 years ago it was barren.

Peberholmen 2, 2014
Our guide on the trip to the artificial island in the Sound between Sweden and Denmark joked that for some reason only the blue and yellow flowers thrive, no red or white flowers (check the colour of the flags…)

I’m going to take a short break from the Holga images. I will be back but even though I love the look, sometimes you need a break from the break 🙂
I’m going to share with you a short series of images from a small artificial island, Peberholmen. It lies in the water between Sweden and Denmark and was created from mud from the bottom of the sea 15 years ago in connection with building the bridge between Denmark and Sweden. Stopping on the island is not a choice but recently I was able to go a tour of Peberholmen.

A detail from the vintage car by the ice cream van…
If you put a Holga lens on your DSLR you must forget about auto focus. In fact forget about manual focus as well. What you’ve got are four ikon on the lens, from ‘close’ to ‘mountain’. If you can remember the intervals and brought a measuring tape, you might the focus just right. If you are like me, you take an educated guess – if you remember. If you’re off – well, ‘blurry’ never looked so good 🙂

This car in this image makes you wonder in what decade it was taken. I think I took it two weeks ago 🙂

I love the dreamy, soft focus look of this plastic lens. I love my sharp Nikon images too this has a special feel to it.
Using the Holga lens has its challenges which is part of the fun. For instance you can’t crop or you would ruin the vignette effect. So you better get the composition right.

A last look at the sea bath for now. I may well return…

Another peak at the construction of the sea bath at Kastrup by the airport…

Looking at a peaceful image like this, it’s hard to imagine the airport is about 1 mile away…

Some facts: The construction is open to the public at all times. It’s not actually named ‘The Snail’. The wood is azobé wood. The bridge is 100 meter long.
