Black Tang

Black Tang

Black Tang, Blåstång in Swedish, (Fucus vesiculosus) waiting for the tide to come back in. Must be a celebrity in the English speaking world. Wikipedia suggests nine different names and a nick name. Here we go, try to remember them all tomorrow. Black tang, bladder wrack, rock weed, bladder fucus, sea oak, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus, rock wrack and the nick name sea grapes.

Now this is almost like a Monty Python scene. Try not to laugh, dyers fucus, red fucus, bladder fucus. How easy for the non native English speaker to pronounce wrong here and loose all credibility in the Oceanic Society key note speech. The evening visit to the hotel bar might turn out lucky or just a boring conversation about bladder control.

Seriously, don’t take things too serious, ha de Gött!

Fire in the sky

Fire in the sky

It is super hot, the sun. No wonder it can set the sky on fire. It went dark real quick after this otherwise I should check for smoke on the water. Not Montreux, but West Coast of Sweden.

A link to one of the best rock guitar riffs ever is a must.

Keep the fire burning and rock on, ha de Gött!

Flintstone

Flintstone

Angles of white flint stone on a black diabase by the bay of Edsvik. Diabase, also called dolerite is a dark volcanic rock that has formed in cracks of older rock. The density is decided by the cooling speed in the underground rock.

Flint is a sedimentary form of quartz and the white, or really off white yellowish, color comes from lime covering the actual flint. Anyway it is a hairless stone excellent to make sharp tools with if you crack it open.

Jabba dabba doo, ha de Gött!

The Cat

The Cat

There was actually some light today so I grabbed the camera to do some landscape photo, trying to explore and use leading lines. I wanted to get the island Katten (the Cat) in the center of the firs and in line with the lighthouse in the far end. Not fully successful but to my excuse I was already balancing at the edge of a 10 meter drop steep cliff.

Find balance in life, ha de Gött!

Little Creek

Little Creek

This little forest creek is just about to freeze. Sun sneaked it’s ray through the tree branches to play with water and ice reflection. This show is for free and the only ticket is, find it.

A few steps beside the path you can find the way, ha de Gött!
