This picture gave me a bit of a challenge in post production. The hotel was really accommodating giving me a room high up with a view over Hisingen Brige in Göteborg, Sweden. Problem was that the windows could not be opened and there was a thick layer of winter dirt on the outside. I had to take some help from Lightroom AI to clean it up. Came out much better than I expected.
If I only could be a bridge over troubled waters, ha de Gött!
I’m on track
but I newer know
if it is the right
Am I in control
to switch over
to be left or right
Don’t like where the train’s going, take the bus. Ha de Gött!
I let this picture of the frozen bay conclude this weeks winter theme.
Dress up, ha de Gött!
Don’t let the snow into your boots, it’s cold. Ha de Gött!
Don’t let life grind you down, ha de Gött!
Time for reflection, ha de Gött!
What is hidden in snow comes out in the thaw, ha de Gött!
Sunday waves, ha de Gött!
A little red boat in the lake Stora Kornsjö, Dalsland Sweden.
Stay ashore when the water is cold, ha de Gött!
Statue of the Swedish national poet Evert Taube with the ship Viking and the building called the Lipstick in the background. I let your own imagination figure out why it is called that. This 86 meter building stand in the clay on piles that had to be driven over 90 meters down.
You cannot call yourself Swedish if you can’t sing at least one of Evert Taube’s song. He wanted to be seen as a poet and writer but is know by most as singer-songwriter. He was born 1890 in Göteborg and he grew up at Vinga lighthouse outside the port of Göteborg. As a young man he sailed the seven seas and spent time in Argentina. A theme he often returned to in his writing. Many of his works has been translated into English. There are some links available on Wikipedia.
While the boat still sails on, ha de Gött!
