Still Evening

Still Evening

I just love this time of year when summer is fading and autumn is knocking on the door. It’s like nature is resting from the hectic summer before starting to prepare for the cold winter.

Still there is light and warmth left before the first bite of frost. Birds fly off to the south in their perfect formations. The air becomes clear and fresh. Silence and stillness.

A little slideshow from my YouTube channel, as always with original music from my son.

Just give yourself a break, ha de Gött!

Fields of barley

Fields of barley

Yellow fields of barley outside Kvibille in Halland, Sweden. As you all know barley can be made into beer. Beer, today available both gluten and alcohol free, has been around for almost 7000 years. I hope that people in the future also will be able to have a glass of beer.

Please enjoy responsible, ha de Gött!

Other side of the other side

Other side of the other side

Some pictures from the other side of the other side, the East side Gallery. There are 105 wall paintings from different artist on this 1316 meters long remains of the Berlin wall. It was painted in 1990 on the east side as a celebration of the opening of the wall. Today it stand as an open air gallery with over 3 million visitors yearly.

If the east or west side was the front side of the wall I let everyone decide for themselves. I only know that a wall designed to separate people and families is never a good thing.

Translation for non German speakers on two of the paintings. “Don’t forget my love”, “The persistence of ignorance”.

Always check the other side, and be glad you can. Ha de Gött!

Grazing

Grazing

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!

National Day

National Day

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!

Backlit

Backlit

Did some experimenting with the light using the most beautiful flower as a model. Not only is the model beautiful but she also has the most beautiful name, Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis). In Swedish Liljekonvalj. I hope the picture made her justice.

The more I try, the more luck I have. Ha de Gött!
