Other side of the other side
Some pictures from the other side of the other side, the East side Gallery. There are 105 wall paintings from different artist on this 1316 meters long remains of the Berlin wall. It was painted in 1990 on the east side as a celebration of the opening of the wall. Today it stand as an open air gallery with over 3 million visitors yearly.
If the east or west side was the front side of the wall I let everyone decide for themselves. I only know that a wall designed to separate people and families is never a good thing.
Translation for non German speakers on two of the paintings. “Don’t forget my love”, “The persistence of ignorance”.
Always check the other side, and be glad you can. Ha de Gött!

There’s always another perspective, ha de Gött!

Berlin Alexanderplatz
Been off grid for a while because I’ve been traveling. To the capital of Germany, Berlin. 900 pictures in the camera and another 200 in the phone so I have some sorting to do.
Today I share a picture of Berlin Alexanderplatz from 209 meters above. Taken from the TV tower (Fernsehturm) that is a landmark, viewable from all angles, in Berlin. With a total height of 368 meters it is the highest building in Germany.

Driftwood
Driftwood on a stony beach at Trossö-Kalvö. Someone, somewhere cut it down and let it fall into the sea. Currents and winds brought it here to frame this picture. Did it come from just around the corner, the next island or did it float in here with the Golf Stream from distant shores. Only Njord knows.
Njord (Njǫrðr) is the sea god of the Nordic mythology.
Go with the flow and see where it takes you, ha de Gött!

Grazing
I continue my grass cutting theme from yesterday with my friends in the pasture outside my house. There is a calmness around cows if it wasn’t, and I think the cows agree, for the irritating flies.
Keep calm and chew grass, ha de Gött!

National Day
6 of June is the National Day of Sweden and in beautiful Havstenssund the flags are up. The celebration is very moderate and most people spend the day with family, gardening or walk in the nature. I guess it’s a typical for the Swedish mentality, lagom, not too much and not too little.
Five hundred years ago the first Swedish king Gustav Wasa was appointed by the church, king by the grace of God, supported by rich merchants from the Lübeck Hansa. Gustav Wasa was a dictator but he reformed the way the nation was administrated. Somethings lives on still today, so in a way he founded the Swedish democracy.
We are nations but above all, citizens of the Earth, ha de Gött!
