By the Sea

There is something comforting with the sea and today we need comfort when madness seems to be the new normal. So today a slideshow with pictures from the beach. Music composed and performed by my son.

Hope for hope, ha de Gött!

Timber

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!

Against the wind

Today was sunny and I decided to do some landscape photography. I got some nice shots I’ll share later. This little tussock of grass caught my attention as took a little break leeward from a cliff. There on a small sand beach it was engaged in a tug of war with the strong wind.

Flex and bend to the end, ha de Gött!

Playing

play mates
forest and water
swirling down the hill 

in an whimsical stop and go

water push trough 
forests attempts to hold back
its friend 

float along 
branch and stick
see where it goes 

to the noisy roaring ocean wind 

freeze a moment in cold north wind
rippling to birds accompaniment
and treetops whooshing

till we meet again

Stay in the moment, ha de Gött!

Sail Away

Lonely fisherman sailing out to sea

Navigating shallow waters, inserts and island

Cliffs scraped naked by wind, not a single tree

Confidently steers along coast and strand

True and simple, a way to be

Life is a voyage, navigate with caution, ha de Gött!

Cruising

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!

Communication

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.
