Raven

Raven

It flew past me, real close, form behind. Sounding its characteristic jarring sound right over my head. Even if I almost filled my pants with fear I managed to get this shot.

The large black Raven (Corvus corax) is a mythical bird. It has a very central role in the Vikings mythology. The god Odin (Oden) sends his two ravens Hugin and Munin out in the worlds, both gods (Asgard) and mans (midgard), to gather information for him. It is not only considered holy but also very intelligent. Krax, ha de gött!

Surveillance

Surveillance

a giant eye
watching the night
looking, at you
looking, down on you
extraterrestrial probing
hiding in plain sight

The Moon. Our mysterious neighbor. Scientist say it is a planet and we see craters from meteors crashing to its surface. But, what if…. What if it really is a giant CCTV or an eye? Who, then is watching? Have a good night!

Hot

Hot

In times you are distant and cold. Just stands there like a black orb. Then I open you up. Light you up, turn you on. Set you on fire. Get you flaming hot. Your passion burn my eyes. My skin.

I inhale your every scent. Your flaming smoking hot gases. Gently place the flesh to your burn. It frizzles as it meets your glowing bars. Together we spice things up. Feeding my desire. I love you my little Barbie Que.

Inspired by John Malone and my Aussie friends who has the cute nickname, Barbie for this fantastic cooking device. The grill. Ha de Gött!

Corroded

Corroded

Painted brown by the salty ocean winds. Unused and unattended. With some grease it will probably work. Even the hard steel finds its subduer in hydrochloric acid. Ha de Gött!

Grumpy

Grumpy

The grumpy old mountain ogre. With his stone faced stare. Don’t disturb his peaceful waters. Thinking of the better days, way back when. Discipline and respect when he roamed the world. The stuff he has seen. Doesn’t say much, just a rumble now and then.

One day Mother Earth will let him loose again.

Hope you see him too. Ha de Gött!

Grief

Grief

Sneaks up 
like a bully
sudden slap
in the neck
think you 
are okay
safe on the 
other side
wet heavy
woolen blanket
gasping for air
a way out
ice pulling 
feet away
band aid time
stop the pain

Fish fry

Fish fry

Fish fry shoal looking for food under the jetty. No adult fish to show them the ropes. With nothing more than what’s coded in their DNA they have to find food. Steer away from bigger fish and birds trying to eat them. If the grow up someone might catch them and fry them.

Ha de Gött!

Light

Light

I took this picture trying to capture the very special light. Is this picture hopeful or frightening?

Sunlight piercing through the dark clouds. Blue skies shows like hope. A house stands firmly on the rock. Shelter against the howling wind. Beams of hopeful light shines on the boats safe on land. Shines in the glittering water, like a child laughter. Bright crest on the clouds like bird wings.

Thickening clouds cover the sun. Blue skies turn darker and darker. Shadows eating the light. The structure on the rocks turns to a scary fortress. Birds fly nervously to take shelter. Water shivers in the cold wind. Clouds turns into deeper gray like a cold November day.

Two ways of describing the same picture. Which one fits you today?

Drop

Drop

What am I, but a drop in the ocean
Clustered together with others
Strong carry tons of steel
Together as one
Life, feeding a world
Glue to the chain of food
Flying high up in the sky
Momentum from wind and sun
Master basic states of physics
Cold Solid, tempered liquid, gaseous hot
What am I, but a drop in the ocean
Circle of life, life itself

Water, H2O, a chemical compound that covers 71% of the Earths surface. All living organism depend on it. We should treat it with the respect it deserves. Ha de Gött!
