The Capital of Sweden at SkyWatchFriday

ALL SHOTS WERE TAKEn BY Canon 5D MARK II, WITH FILTERS POLARIZER 58 e 82 mm, LEnses Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-300mm. For that, the colors of the photos are strong. The Filter polarizing catch the real color..NO treatment in PS or another programm. Of course….you need patience and wait for the right moment….and for me to take these shots…I get more than 100 shots…Later, I deleted and saved only 20 shots…

Beautiful flag…after brazilian flag, the Swedish flag is the most beautiful…

As I wrote before, I have been in Stockholm, this week. When I was there, the sky was dark, grey, a little bit blue…but after 2 hours….it changed…and you can see the differences…

I´m so intense about everything. I´m no afraid to disclose my yearnings, dreams and fantasy. If I tell you that I´m your friend, I will be your friend forever. No matter what can happen. By the way, I´ll always believe that the friendship goes to prevail. The love moves my world. The life, for me, is a sky an as all sky, sometimes it´s dark, cinereous… And, back in the end of the rainbow, I believe that I´ll be able to say that everything was valid.

Hello dear friend Grace!

I am back from a short holiday. I can’t upload the pictures I took overseas as my gadgets are still in my suitcase which I left in my daughter’s place.

Thank you for your kindness in leaving comments to my Quadrat in Focus blog as you can see I have many.

Anyway, I love these pictures in Stockholm you posted. They are worth every minute of my time to savour the glorious skies of your country as in many countries we see in Skywatch.

I love your blog design. Very clever!
