Writer of sorts with a soft spot for Photo. Writes about life and what comes into my mind.
Six pack

Six pack

Cardboard wrapped arrived this thing
long smooth neck and six string
locked in ruffed up shed
frantically played till fingers bleed
pays off with the coolest riff
rockin' hard like a giant cliff

friends with drum and base
life went off to another phase
greasy agent, giant record deal
life on a roll, that was the feel
playin' hard, no gentle song
nothing, could really go wrong

caricature like a bad cartoon
acting out like loon 
sex and drugs and wrecking room
heading fast to his doom
tucked away in rehab
made comeback like Ahab

Rock on, ha de Gött!

Calmness

Calmness

Today it’s two years since I lost my son so to honor him I’d like to share some of his music. He wrote and recorded this piano piece, Calmness, just two months before he passed.

The pain and sense of loss never goes away, it just becomes a part of you. Ha de Gött!

Shave

Shave

Once so silky and smooth

soft as mothers caress

pinched by lady in blue hair

As voice got dark

nature made its remark

a sandpaper like texture

This ancestors heritage

I wish I could escape

these cheeks like an ape

I know it’s not a big thing but I really hate shaving, ha de Gött!

On fire

On fire

The haze created this mysterious light as the sun was setting. Been struggling with Mr Delete whether to keep or scrap. What do you think?

Not deciding is also a decision, ha de Gött!

Sheep talk

Sheep talk

We had a nice chat but not all were interested. They ware more interested to see if I had any goodies in my backpack or if my clothes was edible.

Say what you mean and mean what you say, ha de Gött!

Carlsten Fortress

Carlsten Fortress

In mid 1800 Carlsten was considered the strongest fortress in Europe. Placed on the island Marstrand rock 39 meters over sea level and, with its tower reaching 98 meters it’s an impressive building. Construction began in 1658 after the peace treaty between Sweden and Denmark-Norway where Denmark-Norway had to surrender Bohuslän to Sweden. Marstrand was strategically important harbor with its strong currents keeping it ice free during the winter.

Like many fortresses in Sweden it has also served as a prison. In fact the entire fortress is built by the prisoners. The granite used for construction was landed by boats at the harbor in the village below and dragged up the hill by the prisoners. A sentence to hard labor at Carlsten was the same as a death sentence. Only way to leave was in a coffin. For my Swedish readers I strongly recommend the show and album by Stefan Andersson, No 90 Kleist, where he tells the history from the prisoners and soldiers perspective.

Not everything was war and punishment. It has also served as a lighthouse between 1780 until 1868 when the lighthouse Pater Noster replaced it. Carlsten lighthouse was equipped with the first rotating mirror invented by Jonas Norberg.

Let the old fortresses be a reminder that war is never the answer, ha de Gött!
