Tjärnö

Tjärnö

The small island Tjärnö with a view to the northeast. Behind the island lie the Kosterfjord. Kosterfjord is not really a fjord but a deep underwater valley with a depth of 250 meters. On the Tjärnö island is also a marine biological research center linked to the University of Gothenburg. It’s open to the public so they can learn more about the unique environment in the Kosterfjord.

I struggled a bit to get the color saturation right as the thick clouds hardly let any light through. At first the picture came out very blue. Even if it was cold it was not that cold and I wanted the picture a bit warmer. Now I hope it’s reflecting -3°C and no wind.

Don’t be blue, connect. Ha de Gött!

Mallard

Mallard

He was a bit annoyed when I just took pictures without feeding him. Under loud quacking he hid under the quay. I guess I need some breadcrumbs in my pocket for the next time.

This is a male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) in his colorful plumage. The female has a brown spotted plumage. The mallard is common all over the northern hemisphere but has been implanted to several places in the southern hemisphere. Some individuals are resident and stay with the same partner even with changing seasons. As omnivore they adapt very well to humans and is therefore often seen in cities.

Quack, Quack, ha de Gött!

Wishing

Wishing

All I want for Christmas……..

Someone been very creative in the boathouse.

Wonder what the old fisherman wish for with his longing stare into the distance.

Maybe he wishes that his wife will not learn about all girls he has in every port.

Could be he wish that there, for once, were some tobacco in the pipe.

A more practical wish to be able to fix that hole in the boat.

My guess is that he simply wish that Santa to stop tormenting that accordion!

Just remember that if you smoke, Krampus will come instead of Santa! Ha de Gött!

More Snow

More Snow

More snow on the winter green juniper bush. Love the contrast of the sharp needles and the soft snow. There is warmth in the vivid green and coldness in the white snow. Like Snowwhite taking refuge with the raw barked seven dwarfs.

Be cool, ha de Gött!

Fishing port

Fishing port

The small port in the fishing village Resö a cold winters day. Thermometer showing -4°C but with the wind at gale strength coming in from northeast the cold effect is -10°C. The hardships of the fearless photographer.

The small village shares its name with the island it’s situated on. 170 people live here year around but in summer this number goes up significantly. The trawl fishing boats gets crowded by leisure boats in the sheltered harbor. The island is also accessible by a narrow winding road. Here is also one of the ‘gates’ to the first national marine park in Sweden, Kosterhavet National Park.

This little squirrel also live in Resö.

Keep warm, wear Long Johns, ha de Gött!

Lines

Lines

Lines in the sky. Airlines. There in the skyline, high flying.

Commercial airline race. Line up in the blue haze.

Underlining our freedom. People connecting white lines.

Smoke lines to adventure. Draw the line till she choke.

There’s always two sides to a coin, ha de Gött!

Frozen Apples

Frozen Apples

Just like Adam and Eve

Should I pick and eat

Sun kissed but frozen

Would I know it all

Or is it just the Serpent Sun

Lure me

To bite my teeth off

Be curious, but not dumb, ha de Gött!

Fire in the Sky

Fire in the Sky

Sometimes you don’t have to make that long hike to get that fantastic image. Last Teams meeting in my home office I open the blinds to see this. So now you know. If someone suddenly drops out of the meeting they run out with the camera. Two minutes after this was taken it was gone. Time stamp 16:34.

Mother Nature’s continuous art exhibition, ha de Gött!
