The ice is settling in the fjord and the last boat out left a trail.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!
Ice is settling

Writer of sorts with a soft spot for Photo. Writes about life and what comes into my mind.
Snow cover
I just realized editing this photo that it’s unique. The same scene will never appear again. This snow is already gone and even if it will snow again it will at best be, same same but different!
The past is the past but the future is an enigma, ha de Gött!
Flowing water
Ever changing, always the same.
Soothing sounds.
Forest stream.
Take time to just feel, ha de Gött!
Freezing sunset
This is one of my favourite places, Tjurpannan nature preserve close to my home. Normally it’s quite easily accessible but this day I had to walk 5km in 35 centimetres of snow and at -15°C. I think it was worth it!
Some struggles are worth having, ha de Gött!
Waterfall
Different angles of the same waterfall outside Munkedal, Sweden. The top part is quite easy to reach but the lower part with a higher drop is not so easy with the ice and mud.
Remember to keep the lens dry, ha de Gött!
Adam Ant
Adam the adventures ant Left with a bold chant Walked out the anthill Fearlessly into the evening chill Strongest of animals I am Six times my size, god damn He ran out of luck Six legs was stuck Had to succum' To a chewing gum
You never know what to ant-icipate, ha de Gött!
From the archive.
Dull and grey
Even if the winter weather often is dull and grey you can find something interesting for your lens.
Here I found two bridges with the same curvature. The high bridge named Sundsbron was built in 1963 over the small strait between the two lakes Ellenösjön and Östtersjön. The road 172 from Uddevalla to Arvika runs over it. For the old iron bridge in the foreground I could not find any information when it was built. A qualified guess based on another bridge with the same design I wrote about (link), it was built late 1800 or early 1900.
Even in fog you can find a way, ha de Gött!
Melting
After some lovely winter days last week with cold and snow it is now 20°C warmer. Rain and melting snow overflows rivers and creeks.
Keep your feet dry, ha de Gött!
Blind
Blind
Sometimes wish, I was blind
Untouchable by darkness
Walking the only, one road
Guided by an inner light
Steer me right
In life’s pathless journey
Herded by a shepherd
Holding, rod of confidence
The storming roar of uncertainty
By lighthouse foghorn silenced
A ship softly rolling
Safe at harbour
With a child’s clear eyes
See doubt turn silent
Land me in blind
Faith
Blind (Svensk version)
Önskar ibland, jag vore blind
Onåbar, av mörker
Vandrande den enda vägen
Vägledd, av inre ljus
Styr mig rätt
På livets stiglösa färd
Av en herde ledd
Trygg med sin stav
Ovisshetens stormande vrål
av fyrens mistlur vyssjad
Ett fartyg som rullar mjukt
I trygg hamn
Med barnets klara ögon
Se tvivlet tiga still
Landa mig i blind
Tro
Keep the faith, ha de Gött!
Snow and shadows
Cold and snow covers all in white. Changing the scene for the sun to cast long shadows. Everything bleeds into one colour.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!
