Let it be born. Let’s go.
Here is my first entry of annals, though I am not sure if I can call them that, now that they are month based and not yearly. Mannals? No.
Here is a photo I took in September. I usually don’t come back to spots I have noted as interesting, but this one I discovered during August. And it it caught my eye. What will it look like when autumn approaches and the leaves get colours? I am personally very fond of this one.
Leafy. From Bymarka.
This post, as I saw it, was going to be full of content. But, as I spend my days taking care of my kids, I barely get time for anything else. The smallest one is sleeping right now and I am trying to finish this before she wakes up. I am in the middle of, what-you-call-it? Pop’s permission? I have no idea, but I translated it from Norwegian. It means I am taking care of her till she gets old enough for kinder garten.
Here is another photo from mid September, I believe. I am continuing to explore more abstract water reflections. This was a windy day. The light was also good. From a nearby lake.
Lightning. From Haukvannet.
Posting on social media still makes no sense. I dream of a different internet, a replica of one we have, but without AI and without bots. As few algorithms as possible. I might have found something, called Mastodon, which is so far giving me an old school community feeling. Another place I have grown very fond of is Landscape Photographers Worldwide on Discord.
Agoi. From Haukvannet.
Anyway, here is another September photo, the last one for the time being. I always wanted to make one of these. The wind blew these little amigos neatly, and I discovered it had a really nice side-light when viewing it on my computer later.
I give credit where credit is due, writing monthly posts about whatever is going on, was inspired by reading Alexander Kunz’ monthly end notes: https://www.alex-kunz.com/september-2024-end-notes/ . You don’t know me Alexander, but you go man!
September marks the beginning of darkness. To get in tune with the dark, the cold, the deadly, I re-watch the black metal documentary “Helvete - historien om norsk black metal". This time, the darkest part of the story, seemed to me more sad than last time when I watched it. Maybe because I by now have two kids of my own and can see it from a different perspective. In any case, Dead, you are forever an inspiration.
Here ends my September.
