The other side of East Side Gallery in Berlin. The East Side Gallery is a part of the Berlin wall still standing and on the East side it is covered by wall paintings. Not many tourist find this side.
There’s always another perspective, ha de Gött!
Where is the best place to be, home or away? The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind.

Been off grid for a while because I’ve been traveling. To the capital of Germany, Berlin. 900 pictures in the camera and another 200 in the phone so I have some sorting to do.
Today I share a picture of Berlin Alexanderplatz from 209 meters above. Taken from the TV tower (Fernsehturm) that is a landmark, viewable from all angles, in Berlin. With a total height of 368 meters it is the highest building in Germany.

6 of June is the National Day of Sweden and in beautiful Havstenssund the flags are up. The celebration is very moderate and most people spend the day with family, gardening or walk in the nature. I guess it’s a typical for the Swedish mentality, lagom, not too much and not too little.
Five hundred years ago the first Swedish king Gustav Wasa was appointed by the church, king by the grace of God, supported by rich merchants from the Lübeck Hansa. Gustav Wasa was a dictator but he reformed the way the nation was administrated. Somethings lives on still today, so in a way he founded the Swedish democracy.
We are nations but above all, citizens of the Earth, ha de Gött!
Flying off into the sunset. Commuting business woman in front is already asleep and misses the safety brief. Scared first time flyer behind with sweaty forehead and white knuckles. Smiling stewards and stewardesses slamming their aluminium cupboards. The infant in the back row screams from top of his lungs, sensing his mothers unrest. A last check, all seatbelts fasten, chair in upright position and no blinds down.
Out on to the runway and with a muffled command to cabin crew the pilot gives full throttle. We fly off, off into the setting sun and you find yourself wondering why there life jackets under your seat and not parachutes.
Relax, you always come down. Ha de Gött!
The city of Cologne from a dirty airplane window. If you look closely you can see the cathedral at the Rhein river bend. The city is the oldest in Germany. Already year 50 it was granted city privileges from the Roman empire. With one million inhabitants it is the forth largest German city.
What goes up, must come down. Ha de Gött!
Siegburg is a city with around 42 000 inhabitants 10 kilometres from Bonn and 26 kilometres from Cologne. Administrative centre for the Rhine-Sieg-Kreis district in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. On a high hill in the middle of the city is the old Benedictine monastery founded in 1064. The abbey is known by the name Michaelsberg Abbey.
All places has a story, even the unexpected ones. Ha de Gött!
Tram passing Church of Annedal reflecting in a pond at Slottskogen, Göteborg. A scene of stillness in the busy city alarm.
Keep calm and ride on, ha de Gött!
Nine meter sail free height to the air cables, at the north end of lake North Bullaren and the beginning of Enningdal River. The river marks the border between Norway and Sweden for a few kilometres flowing north to Idefjorden. In Swedish the name is Enningdalsälven and Norwegian Enningdalselva.
Sail on, ha de Gött!
Moored fishing boats in Resö harbour a calm Saturday morning in the off season.
We all need that safe home port, ha de Gött!
