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!

Cool off

Cool off

They said I was getting too hot, blowing my fuses

Don’t make such fuzz, just go with the buzz

All winter sleep it off, hibernate

I was getting worked up, would not take more abuses

Fake news, just a bunch of lies to uz

There’s no winter, I will debate

Challenge, but don’t be foolish, ha de Gött!

Berried

Berried

These bright red berries under the snow sits on the Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus). In Swedish Olvon. The berries does not taste very well so they are left on the up to five meters high bushes even during winter. They are edible in small quantities even if it’s toxic causing vomiting and diarrhea. It has a distinct acidic taste. Used in nature medicine to relieve muscle cramps.

Don’t judge by the exterior, ha de Gött!
