Yes, I’ve been dancing waltz in the ballroom of the Norwegian royal palace! There was no glass shoes involved, we had to wear plastic slippers to protect the floor, but still!
Dance, dance, ha de Gött!
When we got on the plane in Göteborg, Sweden it was +15°C and, arriving the Catalan capital welcomed us with +33°C! The high temperature stayed all four days in this beautiful city. Luckily, it was a happy surprise that I could get cold gluten free beer in most restaurants. Nice but to save my pictures from being blurry I drank mostly water.
It’s a huge city but the public transport system is well developed so with a 72h travel pass it was easy to get around. We did all the musts, Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell and a Flamenco show. We walked in the shade of the maple trees, the La Rambla street. A near death experience, for a man with vertigo, as my wife tricked me in to a cable car ride.
I had only one must see, The church Santa Maria del Mar. The construction of the church plays a central role in one of the best book I’ve read, La Catedral del Mar, Cathedral of the Sea, by Ildefonso Falcones. It was translated in to Swedish so I pretty sure it’s available in English. There is also a well played TV series available on Netflix.
Stay cool when the heat is on, ha de Gött!
Vintage trams ready to take people to the largest amusement park in northern Europe, Liseberg. Göteborg Sweden.
Hat off for all tram drivers around the world, ha de Gött!
Same place as in my last post but different light, ha de Gött!
The Art museum and Hasselblad Centre with the statue of Poseidon, Göteborg Sweden.
Art is life, ha de Gött!
The Århus court house in the shadow of the Aros Art Museum in Denmark.
Art must always shadow Justice, ha de Gött!
Sit back and listen to the beach music, ha de Gött!
Testing my new ND-filters on my favourite place, Tjurpannan nature preserve. In the fresh breeze it was a bit tricky to keep the camera still to get long exposure, even with a tripod. I’m pleased with the effect and I think the filters will be much used.
The more I practice, the more lucky I get. Ha de Gött!
I meet these two in the morning when I go on my morning walk. They let me come close but not too close.
Oh, dear it’s a deer, ha de Gött!
Reflections in steel and glass, Århus Denmark.
You see more if you look, ha de Gött!
