Still Evening

Still Evening

I just love this time of year when summer is fading and autumn is knocking on the door. It’s like nature is resting from the hectic summer before starting to prepare for the cold winter.

Still there is light and warmth left before the first bite of frost. Birds fly off to the south in their perfect formations. The air becomes clear and fresh. Silence and stillness.

A little slideshow from my YouTube channel, as always with original music from my son.

Just give yourself a break, ha de Gött!

Svangen lighthouse

Svangen lighthouse

Since 1889 it has been guiding ships towards the Kosterfjord sea-lane and Resö. Originally the light came from the second floor windows but in 1917 it was replaced with gas driven AGA lighthouse in front of the building. The first floor was the living quarters for the lighthouse keeper with family. Since the the new AGA lighthouse was automatic there was no personnel after 1917. The house was sold to a private owner in 1950. Easy to manage garden, I guess, but probably needs to be painted regularly due to the harsh and salty west winds.

The fully automatic AGA lighthouse was invented by the Swedish inventor Gustaf Dahlén. He was awarded Nobel prize in physics for his work with lighthouse technology. The light was kept burning with the help of carbine gas. To save gas it was started and stopped with the help of a sun-valve also invented by Gustaf Dahlén.

Always steer towards the light, ha de Gött!

Fields of barley

Fields of barley

Yellow fields of barley outside Kvibille in Halland, Sweden. As you all know barley can be made into beer. Beer, today available both gluten and alcohol free, has been around for almost 7000 years. I hope that people in the future also will be able to have a glass of beer.

Please enjoy responsible, ha de Gött!
