Archipelago

Archipelago

The almost green lichen covered red granite in the foreground makes a nice contrast to all the blue and gray. The sun breaking through the clouds almost causing a halo effect on the edge of the cliff. Another display of the gods light show.

Leave a light on, ha de Gött!

Overcast day

Overcast day

November is a challenge for the photographer. I set out on my bike in bright sunlight and moderate wind. I was set on exploring an area I drive pass every day but never visited. Once I got there the rain clouds appeared at the horizon, so the light conditions became, putting in mildly, tricky. The weather gods sitting there with the light switch, off, on, off, on. That is until they discovered the dimmer function. Don’t know if it was the seagulls laughing at me, or the gods. When I reached the top of the cliff they turn the lights out and hit me with a rain shower.

Just remember you can always slide downhill, ha de Gött!

Closed

Closed

Abandoned. Slowly nature is taking back the old store. I remember coming here as a child to buy Norwegian chocolate or licorice pipes. The store is just a few meters from the border. Now it’s for many years closed and the building is for sale. Even the for sale sign has faded. You can still see the sign for Borg beer and trash can lid stating ‘Keep Sweden Clean’. Maybe this is the picture of the circular economy.

Progress is a double edge sword, ha de Gött!

King Frost wait around the bend.

Juniper leaf

Juniper leaf

Just resting on the way down. Even the sharpest juniper spikes offers a resting place. Waiting for that gust, that gust of wind for the final journey.

Have a lovely weekend, ha de Gött!

Green Stone

Green Stone

There is a special, magical place. An oak and linden tree forest on the north side of a ridge. Autumn leaf softly swirl down to the ground from the tall trees. Dry leafs on the ground rustle around your feet as you walk. In the crown of the majestic trees, the south west wind makes a whooshing sound.

On the ground it is silent and still, so silent you can touch it. Smell it. Feel it. There under green blankets of moss the trolls sleeps until night comes. A woodpecker makes a knocking sound trying to find food in a dead oak branch. All is well and your soul is renewed.

Listen to the sound of silence, ha de Gött!
