Better stay on track, ha de Gött!

Still Evening
I just love this time of year when summer is fading and autumn is knocking on the door. It’s like nature is resting from the hectic summer before starting to prepare for the cold winter.
Still there is light and warmth left before the first bite of frost. Birds fly off to the south in their perfect formations. The air becomes clear and fresh. Silence and stillness.
A little slideshow from my YouTube channel, as always with original music from my son.
Just give yourself a break, ha de Gött!

Great Cormorant
A Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) drying its wings after diving for food in the Göteborg moat. It let me come close, but not too close.
Be bold but not foolish, ha de Gött!

Tram
Tram passes over Vasa bridge in Göteborg, Sweden.
Fun fact. The original bridge was inaugurated 1907 after one year of construction. It was inaugurated again in 2019 after a substantial renovation and rebuild. This project took two years!
Speed isn’t everything, ha de Gött!

Svangen lighthouse
Since 1889 it has been guiding ships towards the Kosterfjord sea-lane and Resö. Originally the light came from the second floor windows but in 1917 it was replaced with gas driven AGA lighthouse in front of the building. The first floor was the living quarters for the lighthouse keeper with family. Since the the new AGA lighthouse was automatic there was no personnel after 1917. The house was sold to a private owner in 1950. Easy to manage garden, I guess, but probably needs to be painted regularly due to the harsh and salty west winds.
The fully automatic AGA lighthouse was invented by the Swedish inventor Gustaf Dahlén. He was awarded Nobel prize in physics for his work with lighthouse technology. The light was kept burning with the help of carbine gas. To save gas it was started and stopped with the help of a sun-valve also invented by Gustaf Dahlén.
Always steer towards the light, ha de Gött!

Experiment
Did some experimenting in Lightroom with this little bluebell, that’s trying to make it’s way to the sun through the foliage. Took away the green channel and used a function I seldom touch, the Vignette.
Don’t be blue, ha de Gött!

Fields of barley
Yellow fields of barley outside Kvibille in Halland, Sweden. As you all know barley can be made into beer. Beer, today available both gluten and alcohol free, has been around for almost 7000 years. I hope that people in the future also will be able to have a glass of beer.
Please enjoy responsible, ha de Gött!

Rainbow
A good picture of this summer. Sun and rain walking hand in hand.
I just made it home and closed the door as the gates of heaven opened and the rain just poured down.
There’s is no bad weather, just badly dressed people. Ha de Gött!
