Starboard or port, the question.
Best make a hasteful poll.
Right with instant satisfaction.
Left will cost, a heavy toll.
Mare nostrum, ha de Gött!

This tiny little skerry has no name. Not even my father-in-law could come up with a local name. We pass it often with the boat but I have never landed there, making sure not to disturb the sea birds.
Beauty has no name, ha de Gött!


How high can a tree grow Touch the sky, tickle Gods feet Will They just giggle and enjoy Or, be annoyed. Blow it down with a storm How high can a tree grow Green dress of Mother Earth Will She smile and dance around Or, be bored. Preferring the Dress of blue How high can a tree grow Sun seeking branches, embracing shelter Will the sun, play shadows hide and seek Or, be harsh. Prance about in dessert sand
Hug a tree, for you and me, ha de Gött!


Reflecting tree more than three becomes a forest a place for rest
Knock on wood, ha de Gött!


Shhh, ha de Gött!


Premiere tour with my boat today when I saw this cloud. Rising behind the cliff like the bird Phoenix or rather in these days a peace dove. I hope it flies and poop all warlords in the face so they come to their senses.
Give peace a chance, ha de Gött!


Like Robinson, alone
On a desolate island
Waiting, longing for
Friday
Live now, ha de Gött!


The small village Gullbringa, tucked in behind the rocks. In the past all houses was placed so that it was sheltered from the winds. Specially the north and the west winds. This made easier to keep the warmth in the houses. In the past all wood was used to cook fish-oil during the herring periods.
Herring usually lives far out in the oceans but in periods, between 10 to 20 years, the shoals move close to the coast. This made it possible to capture huge amounts of herring even with smaller boats. Result was a economic boost to the area. The challenge was the almost 100 years between when people needed to find other income sources.
Nothing lasts forever, ha de Gött!

So it finally got me. That little bugger, the Covid-19 virus. With three vaccine shots, I got mild symptoms, some fever, sore throat, headache and a running nose. They say we are 60% water and I think all of it has been poring out of my nose.
Better stay home and replenish all that water so no running around with the camera for me. So today a link to a slideshow with my attempts of landscape photography.
Stay safe, ha de Gött!


Sun sets behind Hällsö, ha de Gött!
