Poetry

Poetry is a language in which man explores his own amazement.  Christopher Fry

Sometimes, when feeling inspired, I write a poem. Below are some of the poems I have written.

Music with Elna

 

iPhone 13 Pro with 3x lens

The iPhone 13 has a 3x lens which makes it possible to zoom in more on an object. It now provides an effective range of 0.5x - 3x making it a versatile camera. I took this phone with me to The Arctic.
