All naked it stands in the hidden valley of oak trees. Covered by the branches of the tree behind. Almost as a motherly protection.
This place has a very special vibe. Mystical and calm almost scary. The old oak trees stretching their slim branches like dancers to the sky and the sun. It is like the trees like to tell you a story, listen.
It is sometimes hard to see the forest for all the trees, ha de Gött!
I try to make them flow
bright and clear as the morning
pleasant as a juicy fruit
but they often gets tangled up
stuck in a web of syllables and vowels
winter storage for the spider of self censorship
words
Don’t get tangled up, ha de Gött!
Today another attempt with my underwater drone. I struggle to keep it still in the current but if you look close you’ll see both lobster and cod fish.
Hold your breath, ha de Gött!
By the beach, ha de Gött!
A sneak peak
humbles you
it is beautiful out there
look and feel
light always beat darkness, ha de Gött!
Today a video from under the surface. I got myself an underwater drone and I finally got to try it out. Not so easy to control but practise makes perfect. With the risk of getting seasick please join me on my first test run. As always background music from my son.
Hold your breath, ha de Gött!
They say that the seventh wave is always larger. It must have been that one that got me soaking wet. Picture was worth it.
Always pack spare clothes, ha de Gött!
A light picture today, ha de Gött!
Sinkadus is a Swedish word that is not easily translated to English but it still fits this picture like a glove. It means something like ‘strike of luck’. According to my research it’s stems from French and a game of dice where the lucky number seven, cinque et dous, five and two with two dices. Even if my son, the Swedish teacher, would be proud this was not meant to be a language lesson post but be about the photo.
You need some skill to be a good photographer but above all you need patience and luck, sinkadus. Just like when you’re out walking and find a scene like this. From Trossö-Kalvö-Lindö, Bohuslän Sweden. Sometimes the dices roll my way but I think I refrain from putting any money on it.
Bad or good, luck is always with you. Ha de Gött!
Just follow my lead and you will do fine.
I don’t know the name of these birds but, here is some excellent parenting going on. Making sure the chick knows how to keep the feathers clean before the flying lessons starts. That is, after all, you can do as a parent before the children leave the nest and fly off into the adventures world.
Children do as we do, not as we say. Ha de Gött!
