Wordless Wednesday
Haga Göteborg
Autumn grey Sunday morning street. Mellangatan Haga Göteborg.
The Haga city district is the first suburb to Göteborg. It was mentioned in print already 1637 and in 1647 it was made official by order of the Queen Kristina as a home for the working class. Today the renovated district is a popular place to live and a vibrant tourist area with many cafes and small shops.
It’s never loo late or too early for a cup of coffee, ha de Gött!

By night
Night photo from Göteborg, Sweden.
I’ve been married to my wife for 25 years. In Sweden that is called silver wedding for some strange reason. To celebrate we took to a weekend with candle light dinner and then went to the movies. After some dealing, shopping hours as currency, we decided to see Oppenheimer instead of the other unmentionable film. Outside the hotel there is an IMAX cinema. If you haven’t seen Oppenheimer yet, or if you want to see it again, I recommend IMAX. It’s a full body experience that make those three hours fly by. The shopping hours? They felt like another 25 years!
Good footwear saves the day, ha de Gött!

Tram
Tram passes over Vasa bridge in Göteborg, Sweden.
Fun fact. The original bridge was inaugurated 1907 after one year of construction. It was inaugurated again in 2019 after a substantial renovation and rebuild. This project took two years!
Speed isn’t everything, ha de Gött!

Experiment
Did some experimenting in Lightroom with this little bluebell, that’s trying to make it’s way to the sun through the foliage. Took away the green channel and used a function I seldom touch, the Vignette.
Don’t be blue, ha de Gött!

Shipyard
Like many cities in Northern Europe the Danish city Helsingør has a history of ship building. These large shipyard areas are now under development for tourism and new businesses, very different from the noisy shipbuilding industry. I do think Helsingør does a good job developing and at the same time honour the hard working people in the shipyards. Makes me feel good as my own father was a welder at a shipyard in Göteborg, Sweden.
History is the mirror to the future, ha de Gött!

Moored
The ship Lyngholmen, moored at Helsingør guest harbour. Doesn’t carry a nation flag but a ship looking the same and with the same name is registered in Norway. It was built in 1955 and named Hankø and the name was changed in 1993 to Lyngholmen. Home port close to my home, just across the border in Fredrikstad.
Ship ohoj, ha de Gött!

Berliner Fernsehturm
With its 368 meters the TV-tower make a fantastic landmark and symbol of Berlin, viewable from almost any angle in this fantastic city. The tower was completed in 1969 by the east German republic DDR to remind people in the west of the east. It holds a restaurant and a viewing café in the cupola at 200 meters. This rotates around two times every hour.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. As a bonus a film from the 21 seconds elevator trip down.
Watch where you’re going, but do look up. Ha de Gött!
