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

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!

Freezing rain

Light playing through ice crystals on a glassed porch windows.

Glass porch is also called ‘retirement incubator’. When I retire I will sit out there incubating old age with a whiskey in my hand.

Remember, there are alcohol free beverages available, ha de Gött!

Concert hall

City reflections. Gates of shiny steel and glass.

Doors to fine arts. Symphonies by strictly dressed musicians.

Stroke of strings under soft chin. The Artist of the orchestra.

Art reflections. Gates of shiny steel and glass.

Doors to rough reality. Cacophony by the vibrant city.

Everyday walking by, a motley crew. The Artists of life.

This is really the doors to the Göteborg Stadsteater, Gothenburg Theater, but the doors to the Concert Hall opposite the plaza are not so photogenic. Artistic freedom, ha de Gött!

Tjärnö

The small island Tjärnö with a view to the northeast. Behind the island lie the Kosterfjord. Kosterfjord is not really a fjord but a deep underwater valley with a depth of 250 meters. On the Tjärnö island is also a marine biological research center linked to the University of Gothenburg. It’s open to the public so they can learn more about the unique environment in the Kosterfjord.

I struggled a bit to get the color saturation right as the thick clouds hardly let any light through. At first the picture came out very blue. Even if it was cold it was not that cold and I wanted the picture a bit warmer. Now I hope it’s reflecting -3°C and no wind.
