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

Capital of Violence

Brass, straight lines, motion in perfect symmetry

Capital of violence

Cohesive, chest ornaments, balcony of small men

Capital of violence

Fear, drumming boots, waving of enabling masses

Capital of violence

Heroes, historic claims, brothers in arms

Capital of violence

King, leader of choice, our way of life

Capital of violence

Portrait, son and daughter, tears of a mother

Capital of violence

Flags, coffins draped, flapping in the wind

Capital of violence

My heart goes out to all mothers seeing their sons and daughters coming back in a black bag.

Wake up

Wake up

Seagull flying past a navigation mark. In Swedish this type of navigation mark is called ‘Kummel’ and I struggled to find the English translation. Cairn is the closest I came up with. On the chart the mark is named ‘Vakupp’ that translates to, wake up or stay alert! Makes perfect sense, as you enter a dangerous area to navigate in. Due south is the lighthouse, one of my favorite motives, ‘Väcker’. With the same perfect logic this translates to, awakens!

Stay sharp, ha de Gött!

Dark skies

Dark skies

Another storm is on its way in. This time with temperature around zero it will be heavy wet snow. Well it’s like the golfers say, “there is no bad weather only poor clothing”.

Even behind the darkest skies the sun is shining, ha de Gött!

Rusty

Rusty

Rusty ball-bearing in dire need of some lubrication.

Leonardo Da Vinci is by some named the inventor of the ball bearing but the already the Romans used wooden ball bearings. The first modern ball bearing was patented by Philip Vaughan, a Welsh inventor, in 1794.

Sven Wingquist, a Swedish inventor invented a self-aligning ball bearing in 1907. This revolutionary invention became the foundation for one of Sweden’s most successful international companies, SKF. SKF stands for Svenska Kullager Fabriken, simply Swedish Ball Bearing Factory.

My first two and half years I lived across the street from the huge factory with its fasade of red clay bricks. Now a trip to Gamlestaden in Göteborg must be planned for some photos.

Aim for a smooth ride, ha de Gött!

Ball

Ball

Kicked around, goal, netted, offside.

Laughter, cries, joy, celebration.

Desire of twenty-two, referee, cheering crowd.

Trimmed lawn, sidelines, corner shot.

Still, locked in, forgotten, rotten.

Round the ball is, ha de Gött!

Red Granite

Red Granite

No, I have not been to Mars and found water. It is the red granite rock typical for Bohuslän in Sweden. Sun was about to go down and created this special light effect. Wind and water keep working hard, like a carpenter on overtime, to get the rock smooth.

Rock hard, ha de Gött!
