Pebble stone
It always give me a sense of unease walking under a cliff with the huge boulders. At some point if fell and when will the next one fall?
Take chances, ha de Gött!

Dark skies
Another storm is on its way in. This time with temperature around zero it will be heavy wet snow. Well it’s like the golfers say, “there is no bad weather only poor clothing”.
Even behind the darkest skies the sun is shining, ha de Gött!

Islands in the storm
The islands Store Stacken, near and Stora Hummerholmen in the background. Storm keep coming more often than the bus.
Hold on to your hat, ha de Gött!

Rusty
Rusty ball-bearing in dire need of some lubrication.
Leonardo Da Vinci is by some named the inventor of the ball bearing but the already the Romans used wooden ball bearings. The first modern ball bearing was patented by Philip Vaughan, a Welsh inventor, in 1794.
Sven Wingquist, a Swedish inventor invented a self-aligning ball bearing in 1907. This revolutionary invention became the foundation for one of Sweden’s most successful international companies, SKF. SKF stands for Svenska Kullager Fabriken, simply Swedish Ball Bearing Factory.
My first two and half years I lived across the street from the huge factory with its fasade of red clay bricks. Now a trip to Gamlestaden in Göteborg must be planned for some photos.
Aim for a smooth ride, ha de Gött!

Ball
Kicked around, goal, netted, offside.
Laughter, cries, joy, celebration.
Desire of twenty-two, referee, cheering crowd.
Trimmed lawn, sidelines, corner shot.
Still, locked in, forgotten, rotten.
Round the ball is, ha de Gött!

Fading Lights
Last rays of the sun reflecting in the clouds. Soon to be replaced by the guiding light of the steady old lighthouse.
Ha de Gött!

Red Granite
No, I have not been to Mars and found water. It is the red granite rock typical for Bohuslän in Sweden. Sun was about to go down and created this special light effect. Wind and water keep working hard, like a carpenter on overtime, to get the rock smooth.
Rock hard, ha de Gött!

Light on the lighthouse
This picture with one of my favorite models the lighthouse ‘Väcker’ was taken 20 minutes before the sun went down in the ocean with a sizzling sound. I’ve been struggling with the harsh light from the sun but I decided that editing that out, would take away some of the magic. What do you think?
Everything is drawn to the light, ha de Gött!

Timber
Ship sailing down the river, Göta Älv, with the new high-raises in the background. In the middle far back is ‘Skansen Kronan’ as a reminder of the history.
River flows, let it flow, ha de Gött!
