<p>“I’ve tried to photograph that tree before and I’ve never been happy with my shot.”  Red Rag.  Bull.  Invitation.  Was Steve trying to tell me not to bother?  And I was having such a lovely time down here by the water, slap bang in the heart of his local patch.  It was such a beautiful little pine tree as well, set amongst the textures of the grey rocky expanse at the edge of the fjord.  Stand in the right place and it was just about possible to squeeze it between the islands.  I’d viewed a lot of photos from this area over the last few years, all of them taken by Steve, but I couldn’t remember seeing the tree before, which was evidently because the resident photographer hadn’t ticked his own boxes up until now.  Maybe my standards are lower than his.  Well I only had one chance, and the light was on my side.  Besides which, by this time tomorrow we’d be in Norway looking at a very different kind of landscape.  <br />
<br />
Much of the day had been filled with a soft sheen of rain, and instead of spending it driving around chasing photos like we did yesterday, this Sunday afternoon was a time to pause before the big journey tomorrow.  A final look at the map and Steve’s budget friendly back door route via the last Swedish petrol station at Charlottenburg.  A few hours of relaxation in front of the football on the television.  English football that is, but with Swedish presenters.  It’s quite odd to hear people who spent years playing for English clubs speaking in their native tongue now that they’ve hung their boots up and become TV pundits.  A strange jolt when for so long I only heard them speaking English during post match interviews at home.  Perfect English of course, just as everyone in the family here does.  It’s almost as if the mother tongue has been banished from the house, although the colourful label on the pack of coffee I picked up during our last minute shopping foray at the local supermarket said we were definitely in Sweden.  <br />
<br />
It was only as the evening arrived that it was time to take the dog for a walk.  And the cameras too.  A spot of quiet photography at the place I’d seen so vividly through Steve’s lens.  With a long drive to the Rondane in Norway ahead of us in the morning, it was the last chance to capture the views from the edge of the fjord through my own lens as well.  For a while Steve left me alone down here by the beach hut I’d wanted to see, while he finished Sherlock’s usual circuit, because, well have you tried to take photos with an eighteen month old spaniel who's already the size of a small racehorse at your side?  By the time he returned alone, I’d pretty much photographed the beach hut into the fjord, and was starting to look around to see what else I could find.  As he examined the images on the back of my camera and muttered something about needing to buy himself a wide angle lens, I noticed the tree.  <br />
<br />
I’m glad I had the opportunity to take some pictures here in Sweden first.  While the landscape on the west coast may not be filled with the unforgettable drama of its famous neighbour, there’s a peaceful kind of beauty that makes you want to pull up a chair and be lulled by its charms.  On a Sunday evening in September when the weather is still quite pleasant, it really is rather delightful here.  But it's not always quite as serene as this.  Steve works in the hospitality industry just up the hill from here and told me the place is full of tourists in summer, just like it is at home in Cornwall.  Had I been here just a couple of weeks earlier I might have been jostling with any number of adolescent Scandinavians in my attempts to get a clean shot.  But then again, I’d probably have been travelling to Norway alone, because August is his busy time at work and getting leave would be challenging to say the least, a bit like September used to be for me when I worked in Further Education.  In so many ways, September is the perfect time to be here.  The calm after the storm and the sense of clean open space.  I could get used to a place like this.</p>
