The morning mist lifts
as the sun rays chases away
the bad dreams of the night
The light is there, trust it. Ha de Gött!
Svensk version
Morgondimman lättar
när solens strålar jagar bort
nattens mardrömmar
Ljuset finns där, lita på det. Ha de Gött!
slowly the wind dies down
from frantic roar to silent whisper
as the sea slowly settles
the last waves make a lazy splash
onto the battered shores
a forgive me caress
and the sun slowly fades
behind the dissolving clouds
Anger is okay, but don’t stay that way. Ha de Gött!
Svensk version
långsamt avtar vinden
från frenetiskt vrål till tyst viskning
när havet sakta lägger sig
de sista vågorna gör ett slött plask
mot misshandlade stränder
en förlåt mig smekning
och solen försvinner sakta
bakom upplösande moln
Ilska är okej, men fastna inte i den. Ha de Gött!
One of my favourite places. The waterfall Älgafallet (translates to Elk fall) half in Norway and half in Sweden. Flowing water is always fascinating, the same but never the same. Like an actor with different faces.
Winter in January, frozen solid in -15°C.
Thaw one week later in +5°C. The flood was so high I could not get any closer.
Late summer and early autumn in +15°C with a good flow after a wet summer.
Just go with the flow, ha de Gött!
A sunset for your Sunday, ha de Gött!
If you want to listen to the sound of silence the national park Tresticklan in Dalsland, Sweden is the place to go. The park is the largest uninhabited forest in south Sweden. The the 2906 hectares forest area has been growing untouched by humans since a big fire in 1830 in . One of the few remaining wild forests in southern Sweden.
I visited on a still day and between the birds singing there was complete silence. You could almost touch the silence. I did not see any of mammals you can find, moose, roe deer, fox, pine marten or wolfs but there was tracks.
I’ll be back, ha de Gött!
Patience and concentration. Keeping that straight line.
There’s no dinner without farmers, ha de Gött!
She walks alone into the sunset
seeking shelter for the night
from the cold wind
Mu, ha de Gött!
Cows grazing as the sun sets behind the hills.
Autumn vibe, ha de Gött!
All naked it stands in the hidden valley of oak trees. Covered by the branches of the tree behind. Almost as a motherly protection.
This place has a very special vibe. Mystical and calm almost scary. The old oak trees stretching their slim branches like dancers to the sky and the sun. It is like the trees like to tell you a story, listen.
It is sometimes hard to see the forest for all the trees, ha de Gött!
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!
