The tree

The tree

The forester planted a seed and it sprung from the ground. He was pleased and nurtured the plant. Watched as it grew, shooting branches with foliage so green. He was widely praised for this beautiful tree and its fast growth. Pleased he sat down to closely watch over his tree.

Slowly the colours changed. Deep healthy green faded in to yellow and red. The forester franticly ran with buckets of water and fertilizer to bring back the green. Branches started to come off so he started to trim them to save what was healthy. All he could hear was dissatisfied grunts.

Slowly the tree withered and died. With heavy heart and tears in his eyes he walked away. Fingers pointing in discontent. On top of the hill he turned around to see. To see what was left of his tree. The dense forest around blocked his view. Blocking the sun rays.

Stay focused but don’t forget to look up, ha de Gött!

Winter and Snow

Winter and Snow

Mild weather coming in from the south and the snow is melting fast so I made a video with some snow pictures. As always accompanied with music by my son Edvin. Hope you like it and brings you a bit of Christmas spirit.

Do check out more videos on my YouTube site, ha de Gött!

Smoke on the Water

Smoke on the Water

It was a rock’ n’ Roll weekend. Both smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Come on, you all know the famous riff. Let’s go!

We all went down to Grebbestad
On the sea Skagerrak shore line
To take pictures with the camera, yeah
We didn't have much time now

King Frost and the Ice Queens
Were at the best place around
But our sun put up it's flare gun
Burned the sky to red inferno

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, you guys are great

Air guitar, everybody. Yeah, ha de Gött!

Grazing

Grazing

Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) finding something to eat under the snow. Guess they stay in the sun to get some warmth in the cold weather. This little deer weighs around 20 to 30 kilos. Cute, but their large numbers creates lots of damage in gardens and for farmers. They are also involved in a large number of traffic accidents.

Please be a dear and watch where you steer, ha de Gött!

Cherish the light

Cherish the light

Tjurpannan nature preserve from a different angle and covered by a thin layer of snow. The sun made brave attempts to break through the thick dark blue clouds. Today sun was raising at 08:53 and set again at 15:20. Winter time is hard for a photographer who has a day job full time.

Don’t eat the yellow snow, animals use it when they have to go. Ha de Gött!

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty

They were a bit tired on my visit to Nordens Ark, the Snow Leopards (Uncia uncia). For this large cat well adapted to cold weather probably felt it to be nice with the temperature around 0°C. Well suited for an afternoon nap.

Native in the Central Asia mountains cold and snow. The large paws works well as snowshoes. With its powerful legs allow the snow leopard to jump up to 16 metres between cliffs. The snow leopard can weigh up to 55 kilos, become up to 130 centimetres long and be 65 centimetres high. This endangered cat are solitary and only seek other individuals during mating season. Illegally hunted for its bones and teeth used in traditional Asian medicine.

I have a dream, that humanity will wake up. Ha de Gött!
