Back in the day
The sandy beach Skrea Strand in Falkenberg, Sweden where I spent much time as a teenager and young adult. There are some good, and bad, memories from this place. It must been 20 years ago since I was here the last time and still amazed by the long sandy beach and the high dunes.
Cherish your memories but don’t get stuck in them, ha de Gött!

Imagine
I took a bus tour to the Northern Ireland on my visit to Dublin. There was several stops where we were herd around like sheep by our friendly shepherd, ehh guide. One stop was the Dark Hedges. Never heard of it but my brain quickly built up a picture, more like this first photo.
This was what it was like. More sheep, ehh, people. More places to go so time was, to say the least, limited. Total stop 20 minutes, 8 minutes to get there from the bus stop. Do the math and there was 4 minutes to get a good picture. Preferably without all the sheep, ehh, people. Eight minutes back to the bus, no time for a pit stop! Let me tell you my bladder is now double size.
Luckily I’m Scandinavian and close to two meters tall. Managed to come away with this last picture.
Only small sips of the water, ha de Gött!

Old man and the sea
I got this picture from the island Ven of the old man on his boat. Made me think of Hemingway.
The beautiful island Ven is situated in the Öresund between Sweden and Denmark. There will be more pictures coming when I catch up with editing my photos from all traveling this summer.
Navigandum est, ha det gött!

Stockholm City Hall
The Stockholm City Hall was completed in 1923 after 15 years of construction. This 101 year old building is not only for administration but also holds several large halls for larger banquets. The Nobel Prize banquet is held here in December every year. So if you want to rub shoulders with the Swedish royal family you just have to figure out a ground breaking invention or discovery.
The 106 metre high tower it makes a good landmark for Sweden’s capital by the shore of the lake Mälaren.
Keep invent, ha de gött!

Windows
We took a trip to the Capital of Sweden, Stockholm. Me and my son spent almost five hours at the newly renovated National Museum. In the museum there are art from the great Swedish masters like Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn. There are also paintings from other masters like Matisse and also some art stolen as spoils of war from the time when Sweden was a super power.
I must confess I don’t remember what was on display in this hall. I was mesmerised by the amazing light from the windows. Quite a long waiting to get a picture without people, worth the wait.
See the light, ha de Gött!

Angry bird
She gave me an angry look when she realised I was taken photos while she was in the bath. I feared that she would call her friends and do the scream and shit fly by.
Thank God for the umbrella, ha de Gött!

Green
I’ve been away to the green island, Ireland. Mostly in Dublin but also a bus tour to Northern Ireland. I have some pictures, that I managed to take between the rain showers, to edit. Last week stopped the process as I’ve been knocked down by the flu for the fourth time this year. Just a picture from the green landscape to let you know I’m still around.
No greenwashing, ha de Gött!
