Wordless Wednesday





I must be an optimist. Left early from work, thinking I could get some cool storm pictures before dark. The hope was that there would be an opening with rays of light in the thick clouds before sunset.
Normally there is a 25 minutes drive home, but today! All slow traffic possible was out on the roads. Swedish is a language rich of curses and swear words so after 45 minutes I think I had them all covered. Finally got home, changed clothes and grabbed my camera. Got in the car for the normally, five minutes drive to the nature preserve. Guess what! Slow traffic had all decided this was the road to drive down. They even stopped in the middle of the road for a nice chat with the oncoming slow traffic. I know some swear words in Finnish and Norwegian, so I used them also.
Now there was only a ten minutes walk to the roaring sea. Nope! After a week of rain the paths were flooded and muddy. The smooth rocks was like soaped bathtubs. Light was now fading fast as the, wished for, opening in the clouds turned into a closing. I managed to get one, yes one, decent shot and then it was lights out. Still I managed to get back to the car, without falling into the mud or break any bones slipping around on the soapy rocks.
Exercise is good for you, ha de Gött!


Mushrooms for your Friday, ha de Gött!


A little sheltered boathouse, tucked in by the mountain, and the autumn colours reflecting in the water mirror.
Monday, a full week of opportunities lies ahead, ha de Gött!


Cold November rain
bashing windows
horizontally
darkness eating light
from headlights
essentially
nature going to rest
slowing down
eventually
cocooning for winter
close together
family
Take care of your family, reach out to those who has non. Ha de Gött!


A misty Sunday morning, ha de Gött!


Around the bend
in the flowing light
a place to mend
in the shadows
a place where things will end
Around the turn of the road
in the bright shining sun
a smile to carry my load
in the shade of falling leaves
is the universe waiting to implode
Stay the course, there’s no turning back. Ha de Gött!



Same scene different light, orchestrated by the sun and the clouds. Do you see the same things, and get the same feel from the three pictures?
Our minds play trick on us to makes a quick judgement call. That is part of our survival instinct. Today we need to be more careful to who’s pointing the light. If we don’t stop and look we can easily be lead astray.
Always be source critical, it’s critical. Ha de Gött!


What is not to love
with autumn
a crescendo of color
from warm to cold
green grass covered in frost
from lull to storm
birds in formation
navigator set to south
nature smells
of settling down
Life is a cycle, ride on. Ha de Gött!
