We can fly high in the sky, all the way to the moon.
Yet we are sinking, way deep into the mud.
Be a lifeboat, ha de Gött!

Sky drama
The navigation mark ‘Ulsholms Kalv’ in sunset. After a day with an absolutely clear sky these dramatic clouds appeared.
Sun in place like a whole note on the staff . Birds sing out the last tune of the evening. All is lined up for the evening drama.
(I hope I got the music terms correct. Whole note is according to Wikipedia, American English and the British English term is semibreve.)
Stay in line, ha de Gött!

Golden hour
Calm evening by the sea in the golden hour.
It smells like salt, ha de Gött!

Fast and Slow
Fast flowing water splashing down the steep.
For a moment, by night frost stilled.
By the suns warming rays, join the joy ride to the sea.
All that matter, solid, liquid and gas, ha de Gött!

Against all winds
Sunset over the natural preserve Tjurpannan on a stormy day.
Stand firm, ha de Gött!

Forest sun
Winter sun shines through flooded and frozen forest.
Keep your footwear in good order, ha de Gött!

Pilots lookout
On the highest point of the island Hällsö, 42 meters over the sea sits the small pilot hut. In this hut the pilots could sit in a warm place shielded from the weather scouting for ships in need of assistance. The station served pilots that guided ships through the dangerous waters outside Tjurpannan. The pilot station was operational until 1960. Hällsö is situated outside Havstenssund, separated by the 40 meter narrow strait, ‘Sunnegapet’.
We all need help to navigate sometimes, ha de Gött!

Fattighusån
Picture from a busy Saturday in Göteborg with tram congestion in front of the old central post office. Straight ahead is ‘Slussen’, the lock for the canal ‘Fattighusån’. At the end in line with the high rise 900 meters away lies the building that named this canal, ‘Fattighuset’, the Alms-House. The canal has a name that implies that is a small river, ‘ån’ in Swedish. Why this name? Guess it’s an evidence of the humor in Göteborg.
The work started in 1620 but the king stopped the work due to lack of money. I wish a certain ruler of today will run out of money fast. The work was re-started in 1639 and finished in 1641. Connecting the Main Harbor Canal with the small river ‘Möndalsån’ became very important for the trade and development of the city.
As they say in Göteborg, ha de Gött!

Beach life
I had the beach all to my self. Light clouds, some wind, zero degrees in the air. A bit warmer in the water with 5°C. Care for a swim?
Nice with sand between the toes, ha de Gött!

Kynne Älv
Some more pictures powerful waterfall and a beautiful stone bridge over the river Kynne Älv. I’ve tried to find a name for the waterfall in Sundshult Bullaren, but I can’t find one. One suggestion is ‘Brudfallet’ but I can’t get that confirmed. It was a challenge to get any good pictures as the beaches are steep and slippery rock or overgrown with dense bush and trees.
Don’t get swept away, ha de Gött!
