Sun sets and evening calmness spreads over boats sheltered in the natural harbor. Under watch from the grumpy old mountain troll.
Tomorrow is another day, ha de Gött!

Driftwood
Driftwood on the sea of life
floating with currents and winds
ups and downs cycling waves
now let me rest on the beach
reflect before next storm
Planning is everything, plans are useless. Ha de Gött!

Waiting
I was waiting for the sun rays to hit the cliff Havsten in the distance. Clear skies over the ocean and clouds over the inland got my hopes up when I climbed the hill. After two hours in the freezing wind and when the ants started to chew on me I had to give up.
Patience is a virtue but not when you turn blue, ha de Gött!

Relentless
Relentlessly grinding
Relentlessly standing firm
Relentless dance of the elements
knock you
rock you
relentlessly relentless
Join the dance, ha de Gött!

New and Old
The new Svinesund bridge over Idefjorden that marks the border between Sweden and Norway. Since Norway is not part of the European Union it is also an outer border for the EU. The bridge was built between January 2003 and was finished in May 2005. It’s a arc bridge with a length of 704 meters. The arc is 247 meters and has a sail free height of 55 meters.
Turning 180 degrees from my standpoint at the old ferry harbor we find the old Svinesund bridge. Building of the bridge was started in 1939, but the Nazi invasion of Norway in April 1940 put a stop to the construction work. Instead both sides armed the almost finished bridge with mines and in 1942 a massive explosion on the Swedish side almost destroyed the bridge. Inauguration was finally in June 1946. With a length of 420 meters and a sail free height of 65 it’s an impressive beauty.
Build bridges and keep the borders open, ha de Gött!
