Shimmering sea

The Sea Was Never So Shimmering, (så skimrande var aldrig havet) as iin the song by Evert Taube. Evert Taube (1890 – 1976) was, or still is, one of Sweden’s most respected poets and singer song writer. A national poet deeply embedded in the Swedish national identity. If you play a song by him all Swedes will be able to sing along. I attach a link to Youtube where Marie Fredriksson from Roxette sings the song ‘så skimrande var aldrig havet’, enjoy.

By the seaside everything comes together, ha de Gött!

Yellow

Svalört (Ranunculus ficaria) or Pilewort. Using the Haddock straight translation from Swedish this becomes ‘Cool herb’. Pretty cool for a Thursday flower.

Stay cool, ha de Gött!

Cowmotion

It can be hard to stay calm and trust yourself when a flock of cows run towards you. Each weighing 500, up to 800 kilos. Golden rules are, too check your escape route, never walk trough a flock and look the leader, the alpha cow in the eyes. If you start to run you better run fast as they will start to run with you and can accidentally run you down.

Keep calm in muh muh land, ha de Gött!

Wednesday White

Early spring flower ‘Vitsippa’ (Anemone nemorosa) or Wood Anemone can make the ground white like snow in the forest. Like a bride in white it stands there seeking the sun before the foliage cover it in shadow.

Be like a flower, bloom, ha de Gött!

Communication

Cars and trains, blue skies and wind power. There is a beautiful ugliness in this motorway bridge over the gorge. Travel has always been important for us humans. The will to explore. To boldly go where no-one gone before, or at least possible to go from Göteborg in Sweden to Oslo in Norway in three hours.
