Patience
November with its darkness is not an optimal time for a photographer but with some patience and luck there are some rewards. I waited almost two hours in the cold north east wind for the light from the sun to find a gap in the clouds. Quoting a famous beer commercial from our Danish friends “worth waiting for”.
Good things come to those who wait, ha de Gött!

Skansen Kronan
The Crown redoubt was built between 1687 and 1700 as part of Göteborg’s defence system. It is built on a steep mountain Risåsberget above Haga city district. Takes your breath away in more ways than one. The stone building is 33 meters high and reaches 87 meters above the sea level. The sconce has a twin Skansen Lejonet (Lion redoubt). Today the fortification has a better use for conferences and parties.
Take a deep breath, ha de Gött!

Haga Göteborg
Autumn grey Sunday morning street. Mellangatan Haga Göteborg.
The Haga city district is the first suburb to Göteborg. It was mentioned in print already 1637 and in 1647 it was made official by order of the Queen Kristina as a home for the working class. Today the renovated district is a popular place to live and a vibrant tourist area with many cafes and small shops.
It’s never loo late or too early for a cup of coffee, ha de Gött!

Over washed
This Saturday was celebrated with a storm. No time for boating, much better for photo’ing. I got quite wet taking this picture. The things you do for your art.
Never under-estimate good clothes, ha de Gött!

By night
Night photo from Göteborg, Sweden.
I’ve been married to my wife for 25 years. In Sweden that is called silver wedding for some strange reason. To celebrate we took to a weekend with candle light dinner and then went to the movies. After some dealing, shopping hours as currency, we decided to see Oppenheimer instead of the other unmentionable film. Outside the hotel there is an IMAX cinema. If you haven’t seen Oppenheimer yet, or if you want to see it again, I recommend IMAX. It’s a full body experience that make those three hours fly by. The shopping hours? They felt like another 25 years!
Good footwear saves the day, ha de Gött!
