Fear not

Fear not

He could feel something beside him. Just that notion of movement that for a split second sent a chill down his spine. Instinctively he turned to see. With a gasp and a stumbling step back he realised he was staring onto his worst fear. The chill from his spine spread like a spiders web over his back. His heart skipped a few beats before it starting to pump harder. The tongue went dry and started to swell as his mouth opened so wide that the chin almost hit the floor. A long drop as he was a tall person.

Staring back at him with open mouth was and old man. Bald with bushy eyebrows and thick hair coming out of the nostrils and ears. Wrinkles like canyons covered the pale reddish skin. A bit of contradiction he found himself to think. He froze staring at the scary image of a crocked back trying to lean back. The chill had turned into a dripping sweat when he heard his wife’s voice in a hazy distance. Forcing himself to snap out of the shock he managed to squeeze out a “huh”.

Now he could clearly hear his wife telling him in a loud voice to stop prance about in front of the mirror!

Age with grace, ha de Gött!

Evening sky

Evening sky

Yesterday presented a fantastic evening sky and this completely still pond. Times like this you wish that you brought the camera. Luckily I did! I managed to get a few good shots before the wind picked up and changed the scene. One of the important things to know as a photographer is how to balance the frame with the rule of thirds. I do think it also can be this.

  1. Skill – see the scene and know your gear
  2. Patience – wait for the light, wind and people out of the way
  3. Luck – be there at the right moment and hope you’re not frozen stiff

To quote the Swedish King when he met the Queen, “it just clicked”. Ha de Gött!

Lock and key

Lock and key

Locked in the loo
wondering what to do
have to admit
situation is shit

will this end well
panicking smell
do another squeeze
climb the window please

how could this be
snapped lock'n'key
becoming laughing stock
janitor call to unlock

discreetly with chill 
noisy chisel and drill
curses to unblock
that stubborn lock

Sometimes you’ll have to face your worst fear, ha de Gött!

Christmas spirit

Christmas spirit

cringed rhyme on a package
oversized shopping mall Santa ho, ho, hoo
sleigh bells and jingles
wailed to pieces White Christmas 
blasting from cracked speaker membrane
frantic blipping red hot gold cards
twinkling blank eyes, pulling arms
perfect Disney tree in Hong Kong plastic
coloured balls and flashing lights
hurry hurry get some more
you better buy for goodness sake
keep those wheels turning
get in that Christmas spirit

It’s a holiday, not a contest, ha de Gött Christmas.

Smoke on the Water

Smoke on the Water

It was a rock’ n’ Roll weekend. Both smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Come on, you all know the famous riff. Let’s go!

We all went down to Grebbestad
On the sea Skagerrak shore line
To take pictures with the camera, yeah
We didn't have much time now

King Frost and the Ice Queens
Were at the best place around
But our sun put up it's flare gun
Burned the sky to red inferno

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, you guys are great

Air guitar, everybody. Yeah, ha de Gött!

Awkward

Awkward

awkward situations, eyes moving like pinballs

discomfort, bubbling laughter in the elevator

mystery, who done it

some countries has melodies playing

to drown the rear end fanfare

stealth smelling or loud like thunder

don’t say the words, blush and giggle

don’t keep it in, let it all out

you must, it’s a law of nature

Don’t be shy, let the trumpet sound, ha de Gött!

Yellow

Yellow

Svalört (Ranunculus ficaria) or Pilewort. Using the Haddock straight translation from Swedish this becomes ‘Cool herb’. Pretty cool for a Thursday flower.

Stay cool, ha de Gött!
