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!
Seagull flying past a navigation mark. In Swedish this type of navigation mark is called ‘Kummel’ and I struggled to find the English translation. Cairn is the closest I came up with. On the chart the mark is named ‘Vakupp’ that translates to, wake up or stay alert! Makes perfect sense, as you enter a dangerous area to navigate in. Due south is the lighthouse, one of my favorite motives, ‘Väcker’. With the same perfect logic this translates to, awakens!
Stay sharp, ha de Gött!
The strait between the islands Hällsö and Kalvö.
Navigate with caution, ha de Gött!
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!
Last rays of the sun reflecting in the clouds. Soon to be replaced by the guiding light of the steady old lighthouse.
Ha de Gött!
No, I have not been to Mars and found water. It is the red granite rock typical for Bohuslän in Sweden. Sun was about to go down and created this special light effect. Wind and water keep working hard, like a carpenter on overtime, to get the rock smooth.
Rock hard, 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!
