I’ve been away to the green island, Ireland. Mostly in Dublin but also a bus tour to Northern Ireland. I have some pictures, that I managed to take between the rain showers, to edit. Last week stopped the process as I’ve been knocked down by the flu for the fourth time this year. Just a picture from the green landscape to let you know I’m still around.
No greenwashing, ha de Gött!
Shyly and silent
evades its origin
the bright light
so close
never to meet
Remember there is still light in the shadows, ha de Gött!
Svensk version
Skuggor
Blygt och tyst
flyr sin skapare
det klara ljuset
så nära
utan att någonsin mötas
Glöm inte att det finns ljus i skuggorna, ha de Gött!
Today a video from under the surface. I got myself an underwater drone and I finally got to try it out. Not so easy to control but practise makes perfect. With the risk of getting seasick please join me on my first test run. As always background music from my son.
Hold your breath, ha de Gött!
They say that the seventh wave is always larger. It must have been that one that got me soaking wet. Picture was worth it.
Always pack spare clothes, ha de Gött!
As part of the summer concert with the choir, Kristall, I sing with I was asked to recite a poem of my own. It’s much more fun to say yes than no. So with butterflies in my stomach and shaking like a leaf I did.
Here is the English version, video in Swedish at the end.
Breaking through
always there
even in the darkest hour
behind the thickest cloud
in the longest night
trust it
hold on to the promise
close your eyes, and dream, day
hold it, in your heart
evening sun reflects spectrum
blue, green, yellow, red
shadows fade, all the way into black
an eternal whirling dance
of sun, and earth in the universe ballroom
we spin along
hoping to catch, the golden moments
like dancers focus their eyes
a frozen beat of rotation
we stay with the spin
without falling out into oblivion
Faith, Hope and Love
Light breaks through, always
To boldly read what no man has read before, ha de Gött!
Do you see it? From Amsterdam, Holland.
Look to see, ha de Gött!
A light picture today, ha de Gött!
I’ve been off grid for some time since my wife used me as cheap labour in the garden. When she looks away I can sneak out to take some pictures like this roadside picture from Kalvö-Lindö.
Do as you’re told, stay married longer. Ha de Gött!
A play with light in the blooming cherry trees, framed by the arches at the university of Lund.
Walk to the light, ha de Gött!
The Öresundsbro is one part of the connection over Öresund between Malmö in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark. The second part is a four kilometre long tunnel and the connection point to the almost eight kilometre bridge is a man made island named Pepparholm.
The bridge has a sail free height of 57 meters and the highest pillar is 203,5 meters. Total length of the connection is 16 kilometres. It has a four lane motorway and beneath a two lane high speed train track. After five years of construction it was inaugurated 1 July 2000. 75 000 passengers travels across this amazing landmark every year.
Let’s connect, ha de Gött!
