A good picture of this summer. Sun and rain walking hand in hand.
I just made it home and closed the door as the gates of heaven opened and the rain just poured down.
There’s is no bad weather, just badly dressed people. Ha de Gött!
Like many cities in Northern Europe the Danish city Helsingør has a history of ship building. These large shipyard areas are now under development for tourism and new businesses, very different from the noisy shipbuilding industry. I do think Helsingør does a good job developing and at the same time honour the hard working people in the shipyards. Makes me feel good as my own father was a welder at a shipyard in Göteborg, Sweden.
History is the mirror to the future, ha de Gött!
Crowded in the Fjällbacka guest harbour this time of year.
Ha de Gött!
Ha de Gött!
Where is the best place to be, home or away? The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Ha de Gött!
Driftwood on a stony beach at Trossö-Kalvö. Someone, somewhere cut it down and let it fall into the sea. Currents and winds brought it here to frame this picture. Did it come from just around the corner, the next island or did it float in here with the Golf Stream from distant shores. Only Njord knows.
Njord (Njǫrðr) is the sea god of the Nordic mythology.
Go with the flow and see where it takes you, ha de Gött!
Ha de Gött!
I continue my grass cutting theme from yesterday with my friends in the pasture outside my house. There is a calmness around cows if it wasn’t, and I think the cows agree, for the irritating flies.
Keep calm and chew grass, ha de Gött!

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!
