The Swedish Sea Rescue Society, Sjöräddningssällskapet is made up of volunteers with normal daytime jobs. With no government funding they depend on public contributions and membership fee’s. Goes without saying, I’m a proud member together with most recreational boat owner around the 11 600 kilometer coastline of Sweden.

2400 volunteer heroes make sure there is a 24 hour availability from 74 stations also covering the major lakes. With a response time of 15 minutes and with 260 modern rescue vessels they are involved in 90 percent of all sea rescues in Sweden.

The society was founded over 100 years ago by Albert Isaksson. The government showed weak interest in doing something about the poor condition of the Swedish sea rescue ability. In fact it was used as an bad example in the internationally. Albert turned to the public and 1 June 1907 the, for Sweden unique, Society was established. Find out more here.

Hat off to the heroes, ha de Gött!

Lizard

Lizard

After some research I’ve concluded that this is a Viviparous lizard (Zootoca vivipara) also known as common lizard, in Swedish Skogsödla. There are only three species of lizards in Sweden and one of them has no legs. The common lizard can be up to 18 centimeters long. It lives in woodland with wet micro climate.

Do let me know if I got the species wrong, ha de Gött!

Smooth rock

Smooth rock

Sun kissed red granite rock, smooth and warm in the early summer evening.

Waves softly splashing their eternal soft lullaby, only broken by a jealous seagull scream.

Wind hushes your turmoil of thoughts to gentle stillness like a mothers soft humming.

Yes, it’s true, best things in life are free. Ha de Gött!

In between

Red granit rock gorge in Tjurpannan natural preserve. So very often climbing that hill or rock is worth it. I was already breath taken from the climb so I almost passed out seeing this.

Take time to just feel, ha de Gött!

Fluffy Monday

Fluffy Monday

Let us wrap the Monday in a cozy soft cotton-grass (Eriophorum angustifolium), in Swedish Ängsull. Thrives in open wetlands all over the northern hemisphere.

It’s hard to be soft, ha de Gött!

Already when I took this shot I was ready to delete it due to overexposure. With a lot of work in Lightroom it came out okay or what do you think?

I almost expect Jesus or Odin to descend from the sky or it may just be my guarding angel making sure I saw the shallow. Theme from Star Wars fits here, so click here to hear my son perform it on the church organ.

Always challenge Mr Delete, ha de Gött!
