What if

What if

What if

Jesus rode in today

would it be on a

a noisy chopper bike

in a bikers leather west

white halo helmet

or

an electric scooter

letting the long hair

fly in the wind

-

would it be

blast through the doors 

of the shopping mall

in the escalator declare 

our sins with bombastic words

or

sitting down by the hobo

look with tears in eye at

the steel and glass temple of banks

You can’t bring anything when you finally go, ha de Gött!

The Barque Viking

The Barque Viking

This old sail ship has been a symbol and landmark in Göteborg since 1951. It has been moored basically in the same place since then. It was originally built 1906 in Copenhagen, Denmark as school ship for the Danish merchant fleet. It is the largest sail ship ever built in Scandinavia. She served in Denmark until 1928 and after that the four-masted beauty was sold to Åland. There she served as merchant and passenger ship before finally arriving to Göteborg in 1951. This time to once again serve as a school but without ever to set sail again. Today it is a hotel and restaurant.

Sail, sail away on the winds of hope. Ha de Gött!

First 2024

First 2024

First photo from 2024. The new year entered with a snowstorm from the north east. Not so much snow but cold, around -15°C down to -20°C for several days. Finally the weather was calm on Saturday and I got some pictures before my fingers and toes turned into icicles.

Hot socks and hot chocolate, ha de Gött!

Cold

Cold

Can you photograph cold? Not cold things like ice and snow, but the actual cold. This is my attempt. I was driving around to scout for scenes to photograph and when I drove down a small icy road in the middle of the forest when this little valley opened. As the sun just made it over the tree tops, it created this inversion fog and the temperature dropped from -2°C to -15°C as I drove into it. Picture of cold, hmm. It was really cold to take the pictures anyway.

Keep your heart warm, ha de Gött!
