They say that the seventh wave is always larger. It must have been that one that got me soaking wet. Picture was worth it.
Always pack spare clothes, ha de Gött!

Beautiful day
I’ve been off grid for some time since my wife used me as cheap labour in the garden. When she looks away I can sneak out to take some pictures like this roadside picture from Kalvö-Lindö.
Do as you’re told, stay married longer. Ha de Gött!

Öresundsbron
The Öresundsbro is one part of the connection over Öresund between Malmö in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark. The second part is a four kilometre long tunnel and the connection point to the almost eight kilometre bridge is a man made island named Pepparholm.
The bridge has a sail free height of 57 meters and the highest pillar is 203,5 meters. Total length of the connection is 16 kilometres. It has a four lane motorway and beneath a two lane high speed train track. After five years of construction it was inaugurated 1 July 2000. 75 000 passengers travels across this amazing landmark every year.
Let’s connect, ha de Gött!

Sinkadus
Sinkadus is a Swedish word that is not easily translated to English but it still fits this picture like a glove. It means something like ‘strike of luck’. According to my research it’s stems from French and a game of dice where the lucky number seven, cinque et dous, five and two with two dices. Even if my son, the Swedish teacher, would be proud this was not meant to be a language lesson post but be about the photo.
You need some skill to be a good photographer but above all you need patience and luck, sinkadus. Just like when you’re out walking and find a scene like this. From Trossö-Kalvö-Lindö, Bohuslän Sweden. Sometimes the dices roll my way but I think I refrain from putting any money on it.
Bad or good, luck is always with you. Ha de Gött!

Dune
as I slowly walk down the path
of grass cowered dunes of sand
with the cold wind in my back
it leads me home, home to the sea
Follow your own path, it’s yours. Ha de Gött!

Home and away
A picture from Morups Tånge in Halland Sweden. I lived just one kilometre from this proud lighthouse from the age of 13 to 27. Made me think about what’s home. In my first 13 years we moved as many times so this was the first time I actually felt rooted. I drove past the farm and the new owners had changed pretty much everything. So the feeling of home was not for me anymore, all gone. Maybe it’s like that song “wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home”. What do you think?
There’s no place like home, ha de Gött!

Slow down and listen, Mother Nature’s show is always on. Ha de Gött!

Sote canal
The man made canal, in Swedish Sotekanalen, has been dug and blasted through the rock as a relief work for unemployed stonemason workers. The idea to build a canal came up already in the late 1800 to create a safer passage over the dangerous waters in the Sotefjord. The decision was made 1913 but the work didn’t start until 1931. It was inaugurated in 1935 by the Swedish Crown Prince Gustav Adolf. This made the peninsula Ramsvikslandet to an island but it’s now connected to the mainland with a swing bridge.
The canal is 4800 meters long, 4,5 meters deep and 15 meters wide. Today it’s not used for commercial traffic but each year over 50 000 recreation boats passes this beautiful waterway.
No man is an island, ha de Gött!
