Winding road

Winding road

There is a winding road. Winding along the forest.

Winding from here to there. A winding to the unknown.

From past time winding history. Till today’s winding reality.

News winding way to milk pallet. Mailman winding a letter down the box.

Wireless connection, pling in phone. Countryside winding down.

Know the past to dare explore, ha de Gött!

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!

100% Autumn

100% Autumn

Colorful thick for winter cold days.

Soft rustling, smelling of chilly fresh October rain.

Still wind quilts autumn cover for Mother Earth.

King Frost wait around the bend.

Keep warm, hug your loved ones, 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!

Door handle

Door handle

Handle never pressed

to friendly welcome open
slammed shut in anger
opened gently to say sorry 

Handle never pressed

slowly, by tiny children's hands, night before Christmas
to lock teenager out after first taste of freedom 
to squeak after boys night out 

Verdigris green and rusted, left out under the blue sky 

Not a single time open, but never ever closed

Found this handle at the house never built that I wrote of a year ago, find it here.

Handle life with care, ha de Gött!

Gorge

Gorge

The Gorge in Havstensund is 100 meters long, 10 meters deep and less than one meter wide. By the locals it’s called “Koppraklöva”. “Klöva” is dialect word meaning gap or gorge. “Koppra” comes from the store that was in front of the entrance. The membership owned store, “Kooperativa Förbundet”, closed many years ago but the name stays on.

It’s possible to walk through if you you’re not pregnant or had to many beers in your belly. You need to be equipped with strong nerves squeezing through while wishing that the rocks hanging over your head will stay there. It is like a shadow hanging over me.

Drop a comment if you got the famous song reference, ha de Gött!
