The little hut on the island was in the past used as storage for the fishing nets. The nets was dried in the sun on the cliff before storage. It was placed on an island the keep rodents away. This one is quite small but there are larger ones out on the bigger islands where the fishermen could stay over night.
Stay afloat in the interweb, ha de Gött!
Waiting for the playful spring winds
sail away to the soft thawing soil
kissed by the innocent April sun
sprout out tall bright and green
eaten by a hungry cow, shit!
Green, green grass of home, ha de Gött!
There was a warm light breeze
I sat there thinking
why good times never, last a bit longer
the fish had gone
taken an afternoon nap
sleeping it off, in the soft bottom clay
sail past me, silently
in the soft summer wind
the last day, of summer
Best things in life are free, ha de Gött!
Invisible vibrations through the air, like telepathy. Waves of communication. Satellites circling the planet like wasps. Information and big data, internet of things, radio ga-ga, television. Smarter and dumber than ever in history, never lonelier.
The huge satellite dishes in the picture has a diameter of 32 and 30 meters. Tanum Teleport was built in 1971 for telephony and data transfer with the help of satellites as relay stations. The first videophone call over the Atlantic Ocean was made on the inauguration day 18 December 1971. A hightech landmark to manifest Sweden’s ambition to be a Information Technology nation to reckon with. Still stand as a landmark today but the facility, at peak employing 30 persons, was closed 2002. The facility played a part as the predecessor to Internet, Arpanet, in 1973 establishes its first international satellite link. Transfer rate of whopping 2,4 kbps.
We have two ears but only one mouth. Should we not listen twice as much as we speak! Ha de Gött!
Light playing through ice crystals on a glassed porch windows.
Glass porch is also called ‘retirement incubator’. When I retire I will sit out there incubating old age with a whiskey in my hand.
Remember, there are alcohol free beverages available, ha de Gött!
Barbwire covered in snow
Like cold facts, tucked in cotton
Still hurts, even if, you can’t see it
Takes thick skin to drive change, ha de Gött!
This little forest creek is just about to freeze. Sun sneaked it’s ray through the tree branches to play with water and ice reflection. This show is for free and the only ticket is, find it.
A few steps beside the path you can find the way, ha de Gött!
This is some kind of Polypore fungi that grows on dead wood. In this case a fallen Ash tree. Temperature just got over freezing point 0°C so the frost transformed into these fantastic drops.
Hang on when things fall, ha de Gött!
Never give in or budge. Go to the top.
Can’t beat them, join them. Move or get passed over.
Solid as a rock. Firmly stand ground.
Now linked together as one. Still stand when you fall.
Up or down, all is intertwined, ha de Gött!
Party all night, bubbly wine, fireworks and loud singing out of key. Celebrate, out with old, in with the new.
A new years day macro to symbolize the promise of a fresh start.
Cherish every drop, it’s an ocean, ha de Gött!
