They say that the seventh wave is always larger. It must have been that one that got me soaking wet. Picture was worth it.
Always pack spare clothes, ha de Gött!

Beautiful day
I’ve been off grid for some time since my wife used me as cheap labour in the garden. When she looks away I can sneak out to take some pictures like this roadside picture from Kalvö-Lindö.
Do as you’re told, stay married longer. Ha de Gött!

Öresundsbron
The Öresundsbro is one part of the connection over Öresund between Malmö in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark. The second part is a four kilometre long tunnel and the connection point to the almost eight kilometre bridge is a man made island named Pepparholm.
The bridge has a sail free height of 57 meters and the highest pillar is 203,5 meters. Total length of the connection is 16 kilometres. It has a four lane motorway and beneath a two lane high speed train track. After five years of construction it was inaugurated 1 July 2000. 75 000 passengers travels across this amazing landmark every year.
Let’s connect, ha de Gött!

Sinkadus
Sinkadus is a Swedish word that is not easily translated to English but it still fits this picture like a glove. It means something like ‘strike of luck’. According to my research it’s stems from French and a game of dice where the lucky number seven, cinque et dous, five and two with two dices. Even if my son, the Swedish teacher, would be proud this was not meant to be a language lesson post but be about the photo.
You need some skill to be a good photographer but above all you need patience and luck, sinkadus. Just like when you’re out walking and find a scene like this. From Trossö-Kalvö-Lindö, Bohuslän Sweden. Sometimes the dices roll my way but I think I refrain from putting any money on it.
Bad or good, luck is always with you. Ha de Gött!

Trams and bikes
You have to love a city with trams. Amsterdam, Holland has them and bikes, lots of bikes. I must confess that I was more afraid to get into an accident with a bike than with a tram. They Ride really fast and they must be totally fearless, even if they show impressing skills navigating around lost tourists. I did not see anyone wearing a helmet, not even children. The sound of the bicycle bell was the soundtrack of the city. Of course there are dedicated bicycle bell shops.
It never happens to me, until it does. Take care, ha de Gött!

Amsterdam
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!

Home and away
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!
