Beach life

I had the beach all to my self. Light clouds, some wind, zero degrees in the air. A bit warmer in the water with 5°C. Care for a swim?

Nice with sand between the toes, ha de Gött!

Kynne Älv

Some more pictures powerful waterfall and a beautiful stone bridge over the river Kynne Älv. I’ve tried to find a name for the waterfall in Sundshult Bullaren, but I can’t find one. One suggestion is ‘Brudfallet’ but I can’t get that confirmed. It was a challenge to get any good pictures as the beaches are steep and slippery rock or overgrown with dense bush and trees.

Don’t get swept away, ha de Gött!

Frosty Waterfall

I have kept it from you. The mighty Älgafall with its 46 meter drop. After a few weeks with storm and rain there was quite the water flow. Luckily I was there early to get the first rays from the sun over hill hitting the ice formations from the night frost.

Even the hardest ice melts in the sun, ha de Gött!

Hidden waterfall

As I was trying to find another angle for the big waterfall I found this little hidden side flow in the dense forest. I already showed you Näcken sitting there in his birthday suit playing his fiddle. I feel generous today so there is two for the post of one.

Stay cool, ha de Gött!

By the Sea

There is something comforting with the sea and today we need comfort when madness seems to be the new normal. So today a slideshow with pictures from the beach. Music composed and performed by my son.

Hope for hope, ha de Gött!

Näcken

Näcken is a humanoid shape shifting water spirit in Scandinavian folklore. He appears in all Germanic peoples folklore and the English name is Nicor. Näcken sits in the stream or a lake and tries to lure innocent people, mostly young women and children to drown. He does this by playing the Violin, the Devils instrument. There is also female Näcken that lures young men to the same fate.

Näck translated to English means, nude. Yes, it’s true we Scandinavians living in the country side love to do some nude swimming, specially after the Sauna bath. After all, there is usually not very many around to see you.

One dress makes us all equal, ha de Gött!

Cool Water

Today I went back to Älgafallet on the border between Sweden and Norway now when the Covid restrictions are gone. After a cold night and lots of water in the waterfall there was some great pictures. The early morning sun also wanted to play along.

Wake up

Seagull flying past a navigation mark. In Swedish this type of navigation mark is called ‘Kummel’ and I struggled to find the English translation. Cairn is the closest I came up with. On the chart the mark is named ‘Vakupp’ that translates to, wake up or stay alert! Makes perfect sense, as you enter a dangerous area to navigate in. Due south is the lighthouse, one of my favorite motives, ‘Väcker’. With the same perfect logic this translates to, awakens!
