Today I went back to Älgafallet on the border between Sweden and Norway now when the Covid restrictions are gone. After a cold night and lots of water in the waterfall there was some great pictures. The early morning sun also wanted to play along.
See also a short video here. Sound on!
Imagine there’s no borders, ha de Gött!
Brass, straight lines, motion in perfect symmetry
Capital of violence
Cohesive, chest ornaments, balcony of small men
Capital of violence
Fear, drumming boots, waving of enabling masses
Capital of violence
Heroes, historic claims, brothers in arms
Capital of violence
King, leader of choice, our way of life
Capital of violence
Portrait, son and daughter, tears of a mother
Capital of violence
Flags, coffins draped, flapping in the wind
Capital of violence
My heart goes out to all mothers seeing their sons and daughters coming back in a black bag.
It always give me a sense of unease walking under a cliff with the huge boulders. At some point if fell and when will the next one fall?
Take chances, ha de Gött!
Another storm is on its way in. This time with temperature around zero it will be heavy wet snow. Well it’s like the golfers say, “there is no bad weather only poor clothing”.
Even behind the darkest skies the sun is shining, ha de Gött!
The islands Store Stacken, near and Stora Hummerholmen in the background. Storm keep coming more often than the bus.
Hold on to your hat, ha de Gött!
Rusty ball-bearing in dire need of some lubrication.
Leonardo Da Vinci is by some named the inventor of the ball bearing but the already the Romans used wooden ball bearings. The first modern ball bearing was patented by Philip Vaughan, a Welsh inventor, in 1794.
Sven Wingquist, a Swedish inventor invented a self-aligning ball bearing in 1907. This revolutionary invention became the foundation for one of Sweden’s most successful international companies, SKF. SKF stands for Svenska Kullager Fabriken, simply Swedish Ball Bearing Factory.
My first two and half years I lived across the street from the huge factory with its fasade of red clay bricks. Now a trip to Gamlestaden in Göteborg must be planned for some photos.
Aim for a smooth ride, ha de Gött!
Kicked around, goal, netted, offside.
Laughter, cries, joy, celebration.
Desire of twenty-two, referee, cheering crowd.
Trimmed lawn, sidelines, corner shot.
Still, locked in, forgotten, rotten.
Round the ball is, ha de Gött!
Ship sailing down the river, Göta Älv, with the new high-raises in the background. In the middle far back is ‘Skansen Kronan’ as a reminder of the history.
River flows, let it flow, ha de Gött!
Got my new lens today and I had to test it in the last evening light. Still strong winds and waves from last nights storm. The storms has been rolling over us the last weeks like trains on a schedule. Clouds rolled in and I was afraid to loose light entirely, but mother nature was only preparing this scene.
Darkness is just another side of light, ha de Gött!
It has been quite windy the past weeks. Wind and waves brings driftwood to the beaches. Sadly other things also washes ashore. Life started in the oceans and from a fish that one day decided that walking is hip, we all originates. This kinship is clear in the fact that we spend our first nine months in water. We are to 60% water. Throwing plastic garbage in the ocean is like shoving it up the womb of our mother.
Treat your mother right, ha de Gött!
