Beech tree forest

Beech tree forest

Just got back from a weekend photography workshop. I met up with other 12 photo enthusiasts in the southwest of Sweden, in an area called Halland. More precisely, in Åkulla Bokskogar, just outside Ullared. The region is known for its vast deciduous forest, primarily made up of beech trees.

Surrounded by a stunning display of autumn colours we were guided through these cathedrals and along small streams by the renowned photographer Patrik Leornadsson.

The weather forecast had warned of heavy rain all weekend, so I packed a large trunk of rain clothes and shoes. Fortunately, the weather out better than expected. We had some light rain and even a few minutes of sunshine, so most of the extra clothes came home unused.

Instead I brought back new knowledge, fresh inspiration, and around 500 pictures to sort and edit during the dark evenings ahead. It was also a pleasure to meet others who share the same passion, and to exchange thoughts on creative processes, challenges, and techniques.

Don’t wait, go out and create. Ha de Gött!

Talk it out

Talk it out

A sight rarely seen these days but common back in the day. The phone booth.

When I was in school back in the 80:ties when the cold war was at it’s coldest. We read a book about peace where the theme was that as the means of communication improved, peace and understanding would follow. Today it has never been easier to communicate all around the world. Yet we have never been so misinformed as today.

Picture is taken in Oslo. Just a few meters away from the Nobel Peace centre and the Oslo City hall where the award ceremony for the Nobel Peace Prize are held December 10 every year.

I leave the red phone booth as a beacon of hope, ha de Gött!

Sun in my eyes

Sun in my eyes

Solen i mina ögon.
Med solen i mina ögon.
Sitter jag vid havet.
Vattenmild höstbris i mitt ansikte.
Bländar min själ till lugn.

English version.
With the sun in my eyes.
I sit by the sea.
Water mild autumn breeze in my face.
Blinding my soul to calm.

Wish the good moments last longer, ha de Gött!

German church, Göteborg

German church, Göteborg

The Christinæ church was founded by the growing Dutch and German population that was brought in to build the fortress city Göteborg during the 1600. Still today the ceremonies are held in German even if it’s a part of the Swedish church. The bridge over the Large Harbour Canal (Stora Hamnkanalen) has been named the German Bridge (Tyska Bron) where the classic sightseeing boat Paddan (translates to the Toad) is about to sail under.

A bridge is a place to cross, ha de Gött!

Crashing

Crashing

Disunion waves.
Overwhelming.
Us and them.
Gasping not to drown.
In haze.
Lighthouse beacon.
Relentless Hope.
Standing firm.

Svensk version

Splittringens vågor.
Överväldigande.
Vi och dom.
Kippar efter andan.
I dimman.
Fyrens ljus.
Obevekligt hopp.
Står obeveklig.

Will we ever learn, ha de Gött!
