We took a quick decision and went to Amsterdam, Holland for a long weekend. The weather went from sun 30°C to rain and 13°C but as the saying goes “there is no bad weather, only bad clothes”.
There will be more pictures, here and on Instagram, as I sort them out. As a teaser this evening shot of Walter Suskindbrug. Hand held camera using another bridge rail as support.
You must get away to feel at home, ha de Gött!
A picture from Morups Tånge in Halland Sweden. I lived just one kilometre from this proud lighthouse from the age of 13 to 27. Made me think about what’s home. In my first 13 years we moved as many times so this was the first time I actually felt rooted. I drove past the farm and the new owners had changed pretty much everything. So the feeling of home was not for me anymore, all gone. Maybe it’s like that song “wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home”. What do you think?
There’s no place like home, ha de Gött!
I’ve been off to Lund in the southern part of Sweden on a business trip. Long working days but since the daylight becomes longer by the day I still got some time to go out and test my new travel photo kit. Canon R8 with Canon 24-240 lens gives me a wide range but still is light to carry.
The picture is from the university area in Lund with shadows playing on the facade of the Dominican Order monastery. The order was established in 1216 and already 1223 they came to Lund. They stayed until the 1500 when the Lutheran reformation forced them out. With the freedom of religion they where back again in 1948.
Freedom is the best thing, but it doesn’t come for free! Ha de Gött!
Three generations of trams on the parade street Avenyn in Göteborg, Sweden. Typical April weather, one minute rain and snow and the next bright warm sun. At the far end you see the colons of the art museum.
Public transport is always an adventure, ha de Gött!
The Sun, the Wind, the Water and Shadow playing in the evening.
Slow down and listen, Mother Nature’s show is always on. Ha de Gött!
Scattered stones on the beach.
Don’t throw stones in a glass house, ha de Gött!
Ha de Gött!
Old shed and rowboat has seen better days, ha de Gött!
Sometimes you walk for hours without finding anything interesting to photograph. Waiting in vain for that special light that could make anything interesting. Then suddenly as you cross a gorge there is a little hidden creek and the sun sends down its rays through the trees. Hallelujah moment! Makes you wonder if God has a camera.
Just wait for it, ha de Gött!
So many questions of this wheel. Did it fall off and rolled down the hill bounced on the curb and landed in the thicket. Where is the bike and does the other wheel miss his mate. What must the owner feel, was he or she in to much of a rush. Had to be balancing off to work on a mono bike. This runaway tire, what tales could be spoken.
Life is like a box of chocolate, ha de Gött!
