Nu blommar syrenen / The lilac is flowering!

In Sweden we say “mellan hägg och syren” - “between bird cherry and lilac” - to refer to this time, which by many is seen as the most beautiful time of the year. Not much more to say.

Taken just outside where I live - in late evening light, mixed with street lamp light.

First one is taken with my 16-35 lens, the other two are taken with 50 mm+a 12 mm extension tube I bought some month ago (a cheap 12+20+36 mm set), but haven’t found the time to use that much (yet).

Go out and enjoy them, and other spring flowers, everyone who can. Soon enough it will be June / the lilac blooming period will be over.

  2. mm, men å andra sidan är "syren" vackrare än "lilac" (tycker jag), så det jämnar ut sig :)
