Took the fixie bike down to my favourite beach yesterday. 15C from a blueish sky. Happy to report that all the ice is gone from the Horsfjärden bay. Top photo shows the corvette HMS Visby. Photographed with my 70-200mm Canon lens with the help of the 1.4 Viltrox Extender. Snapped from the little marina at the Årsta Brygga. Second photo shows the minehunter HMS Kullen. A Landsort-class mine countermeasures vessel. Took that photo from a pier at the Årsta Havsbad beach. Both vessels are part of the 4th Naval Warfare Flotilla at the nearby Berga Navybase. I visited the base a few years ago when they had an open-house weekend.

I was in our Navy but never aboard a ship; I served at a Naval Air Station. Some nice shots. You've got to be careful these days where and what you photograph, 'cuz some of our spy organization are concerned about bad guys doing bad things to our military facilities and operations.
Both ships are impressive.
Cool paint jobs! I remember seeing a show about why naval ships are painted in patterns like that but have forgotten the details now!
We usually have museum war ships here...These ones look impressive.
