Two meter man

Two meter man

Hard as a rock

he stands all exposed

with his spear ready

for all to see

he blushes, goes all red

The Two Meter Man at Listeby rock carving site is one of the most famous bronze age rock carvings at the Tanumshede World Heritage site. Similar image can be found elsewhere but this is unique in size. Why they were carved 3000 years ago is a bit of a mystery but the area is full of them and still today new discoveries are made.

Don’t ever be ashamed of your appearance, ha de Gött!

Three faces

Three faces

One of my favourite places. The waterfall Älgafallet (translates to Elk fall) half in Norway and half in Sweden. Flowing water is always fascinating, the same but never the same. Like an actor with different faces.

Winter in January, frozen solid in -15°C.

Thaw one week later in +5°C. The flood was so high I could not get any closer.

Late summer and early autumn in +15°C with a good flow after a wet summer.

Just go with the flow, ha de Gött!

Silent wilderness

Silent wilderness

If you want to listen to the sound of silence the national park Tresticklan in Dalsland, Sweden is the place to go. The park is the largest uninhabited forest in south Sweden. The the 2906 hectares forest area has been growing untouched by humans since a big fire in 1830 in . One of the few remaining wild forests in southern Sweden.

I visited on a still day and between the birds singing there was complete silence. You could almost touch the silence. I did not see any of mammals you can find, moose, roe deer, fox, pine marten or wolfs but there was tracks.

I’ll be back, ha de Gött!
