Gates shut you out or let you in, a sign of power and status. Colorful or plain. Artistic ornamentation to hide the secrets within. Strong heavy gates, enter with fear and respect. Dare to use the door knocker.

Choose wisely, who to shut out and who to let in, ha de Gött!
Hold on to your hats, ha de Gött!
The new Svinesund bridge over Idefjorden that marks the border between Sweden and Norway. Since Norway is not part of the European Union it is also an outer border for the EU. The bridge was built between January 2003 and was finished in May 2005. It’s a arc bridge with a length of 704 meters. The arc is 247 meters and has a sail free height of 55 meters.
Turning 180 degrees from my standpoint at the old ferry harbor we find the old Svinesund bridge. Building of the bridge was started in 1939, but the Nazi invasion of Norway in April 1940 put a stop to the construction work. Instead both sides armed the almost finished bridge with mines and in 1942 a massive explosion on the Swedish side almost destroyed the bridge. Inauguration was finally in June 1946. With a length of 420 meters and a sail free height of 65 it’s an impressive beauty.
Build bridges and keep the borders open, ha de Gött!
Shhh, ha de Gött!
Pebble SPA, ha de Gött!
Red granit rock gorge in Tjurpannan natural preserve. So very often climbing that hill or rock is worth it. I was already breath taken from the climb so I almost passed out seeing this.
Take time to just feel, ha de Gött!
Continue the week on the fluffy theme.
Bah, bää, ha de Gött!
Let us wrap the Monday in a cozy soft cotton-grass (Eriophorum angustifolium), in Swedish Ängsull. Thrives in open wetlands all over the northern hemisphere.
It’s hard to be soft, ha de Gött!
Already when I took this shot I was ready to delete it due to overexposure. With a lot of work in Lightroom it came out okay or what do you think?
I almost expect Jesus or Odin to descend from the sky or it may just be my guarding angel making sure I saw the shallow. Theme from Star Wars fits here, so click here to hear my son perform it on the church organ.
Always challenge Mr Delete, ha de Gött!
Boat slowly entering Bisse Rännan outside Resö in the early summer evening. Can’t come up with any better poetry than this.
Carpe diem, ha de Gött!
