Avenue

Avenue

Götaplatsen and Kungsportsavenyn, Göteborg in Saturday evening light. The statue of the Greek god Poseidon by Carl Milles has been a landmark and symbol of Göteborg since 1931. He stands there, no shame, naked with his fish at the end of Kungsportsavenyn. The avenue stretches down to the place that was the Kings Gate when the city was a fortress.

Poseidon, where he stands in his little pond and splashes water, is surrounded by culture. Art museums, concert halls, theatre’s, night clubs and the city library. The statue is one of the few landmarks that has no nickname from the humoristic residents of Göteborg.

A true God after ninety years of skinny dipping, ha de Gött!

Through the forest

Through the forest

The neck hair raised, and a chill found its way down his spine. At the same time he felt two burning dots, from someone watching in the dark. What was that in the corner of his eye? Better not look or it could drag him into the whispering foilage. Keep your eyes to the ground, focus on each step. Breathing hard short breaths as the sweat ran down his chilling spine. Looking up to see the path. What was that? Glowing eyes in the bushes and grinning teeth? Blinded by the joggers headlamp. He was finally safe, or was he……

Boooo, ha de Gött

Rhein

Rhein

I was away last week on a business trip in Düsseldorf, Germany. Fortunately, I managed to sneak out to get a few pictures of the river Rhein and Theodor-Heuss Brücke. I was a bit to late to get a good shot angle with the riverboat as was sneeking close to the embankment, seeking the deepest side of the river. A Dutchman judging by the flag.

So the river flows gently on, ha de Gött!

Pink Bike

Pink Bike

Don’t know if this is an art installation or if someone just felt that life is upside down, locked the bike and walked away. A mystery worthy of inspector Clouseau.

Da, tada, tadatada, you know the tune, ha de Gött!

The Rheinturm, Rhine Tower, Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf is the capital of Nordrhein-Westfalen one of the federal states of Germany. The city is situated where the river Düssel connects to the mighty Rhine river. The city is known for its industry that cover a wide range from chemistry to machinery. It is also an important city of culture and art with, for example, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and Robert Schumann Musikhochschule.

Prost, ha de Gött!

Mooring

Mooring

Wonder where the rest of that hawser is? Somewhere out on the seven seas. In storms and lull. Does it know that it left a bit of itself on the dock?

Did a sailor tosse it overboard? Broken and rejected at the bottom of ‘le grand blue’. Hiding place for Barracudas and Mermaids.

Not all questions will get an answer, ha de Gött!
