Summer Photo Competition 2009

Today Sweden changed from summer time to normal (winter?) time. We gained an extra hour, which I spent on announcing this “competition”. Otherwise my two jobs, one at Innovationsbron and the other at VINNOVA keep me rather busy.

Although this summer has been a really rainy one, at least in Sweden, somehow I’ve managed to take lots of photos. Want to help me pick the one to symbolise the Summer of 2009? Write down which one is your favourite in a comment to this blog post together with your email address, and at the same time you will enter the lottery with a chance of winning a lovely bouquet of summer flowers. Open until 1st of December.

Look at the Picasa folder with the pictures, and then go back to this blog post and write a comment. It does not show immediately, but you can rest assured that I will take good care of it and put it into the lottery bowl!

Looking forward to your vote!

Lena,
number three is the Winner. Composition, colour and tone. No question about it.

Take care

Sommaren var för en gångs skull en skön vila för mig där jag började ur jobbdiset skönja en trygg och lugn tillvaro. Som en bänk i kanten av trädgården där grönskan bakom ger trygghet och svalka och blicken utåt landskapet ger perspektivet.(Nr 42)
Kul idé som vanligt Lena!

Hi Lena!
Number 1 reflects the summer of 2009.Reasons, Summer is about clear blue skies but since the 09 summer was rainy,the clouds gives some effect of rain.Therefore the photo gives a feel of rain and sun (clouds and blue sky.

Number 10. The depth of field and texture of the flower make the image for me.

Kind regards,

Lena,
Jag önskar att sommaren var som bild 3 men om den ska spegla sommaren 2009 i Sverige tycker jag att bild 4 är underbar. Var själv i Pilarne och vädret var precis som på bilden :o)

Svårt val, men jag tycker nog nummer tre. Snyggt taget och med ett vackert motiv.
Vi ses i helgen,

Number ten gets my vote. The picture has a nice depth to it and the flowers' warm colors and spherical sun-like appearance really appeals to me.

All the best
