The water surface shimmers with green and blue. Waves break, softly against the yellow and brown sandy beach. A small splash as water hit a stone embedded in the soft sand. One lonely seagull lands gracefully in the water, to check the visitor out. Driftwood washed up by the latest storm. Private beach, time for a skinny-dip.
8°C in the air and 8°C in the water. I already got a cold so I stayed on the beach. Ha de Gött!
November can be very dull and gray, but if you look close. Look close to see the bright colors hidden on the ground. If you’re lucky the sun lights up and create dramatic, long shadows.
I don’t know the name of this red little fungi but I hope Rudi can help. Do check out his blogg and his fungi knowledge, picpholio nature photography.
Watch where you’re going, ha de Gött!
Lazy days of summer. Bedded in green. Digesting. Kissed by the suns warmth. Those lazy days of summer.
Ha de Gött!
There’s a hole in my bucket.
Well mend it, then.
But where did I put it?
Now I can cross out this of my photo bucket list, ha de Gött!
Rush hour in Havstenssund. The autumn evening shadow gently cover the houses, as the sun sets behind the cliffs. The little village prepare for the winter. Lobster fishermen moor their boats in the harbor. There is a chilly wind but in the street it is calm, sheltered by the houses and the white fences. Take a left to the gorge or go straight down to the harbor. Smell the fresh salted wind and listen to the boats tough by. Feel alive.
Breath in breath out, ha de Gött!
The almost green lichen covered red granite in the foreground makes a nice contrast to all the blue and gray. The sun breaking through the clouds almost causing a halo effect on the edge of the cliff. Another display of the gods light show.
Leave a light on, ha de Gött!
November is a challenge for the photographer. I set out on my bike in bright sunlight and moderate wind. I was set on exploring an area I drive pass every day but never visited. Once I got there the rain clouds appeared at the horizon, so the light conditions became, putting in mildly, tricky. The weather gods sitting there with the light switch, off, on, off, on. That is until they discovered the dimmer function. Don’t know if it was the seagulls laughing at me, or the gods. When I reached the top of the cliff they turn the lights out and hit me with a rain shower.
Just remember you can always slide downhill, ha de Gött!
Look through the cracks. There is always a new perspective.
Crack a smile and make the day better, ha de Gött!
There is a winding road. Winding along the forest.
Winding from here to there. A winding to the unknown.
From past time winding history. Till today’s winding reality.
News winding way to milk pallet. Mailman winding a letter down the box.
Wireless connection, pling in phone. Countryside winding down.
Know the past to dare explore, ha de Gött!
Abandoned. Slowly nature is taking back the old store. I remember coming here as a child to buy Norwegian chocolate or licorice pipes. The store is just a few meters from the border. Now it’s for many years closed and the building is for sale. Even the for sale sign has faded. You can still see the sign for Borg beer and trash can lid stating ‘Keep Sweden Clean’. Maybe this is the picture of the circular economy.
Progress is a double edge sword, ha de Gött!
