Waiting for the playful spring winds
sail away to the soft thawing soil
kissed by the innocent April sun
sprout out tall bright and green
eaten by a hungry cow, shit!
Green, green grass of home, ha de Gött!
Invisible vibrations through the air, like telepathy. Waves of communication. Satellites circling the planet like wasps. Information and big data, internet of things, radio ga-ga, television. Smarter and dumber than ever in history, never lonelier.
The huge satellite dishes in the picture has a diameter of 32 and 30 meters. Tanum Teleport was built in 1971 for telephony and data transfer with the help of satellites as relay stations. The first videophone call over the Atlantic Ocean was made on the inauguration day 18 December 1971. A hightech landmark to manifest Sweden’s ambition to be a Information Technology nation to reckon with. Still stand as a landmark today but the facility, at peak employing 30 persons, was closed 2002. The facility played a part as the predecessor to Internet, Arpanet, in 1973 establishes its first international satellite link. Transfer rate of whopping 2,4 kbps.
We have two ears but only one mouth. Should we not listen twice as much as we speak! Ha de Gött!
Try something clever to write, to the point.
But imagination was lost, frozen.
Ha de Gött!
Snow landscape covered in white under a cold blue sky.
Ha de Gött!
Light playing through ice crystals on a glassed porch windows.
Glass porch is also called ‘retirement incubator’. When I retire I will sit out there incubating old age with a whiskey in my hand.
Remember, there are alcohol free beverages available, ha de Gött!
Barbwire covered in snow
Like cold facts, tucked in cotton
Still hurts, even if, you can’t see it
Takes thick skin to drive change, ha de Gött!
This little forest creek is just about to freeze. Sun sneaked it’s ray through the tree branches to play with water and ice reflection. This show is for free and the only ticket is, find it.
A few steps beside the path you can find the way, ha de Gött!
They said I was getting too hot, blowing my fuses
Don’t make such fuzz, just go with the buzz
All winter sleep it off, hibernate
I was getting worked up, would not take more abuses
Fake news, just a bunch of lies to uz
There’s no winter, I will debate
Challenge, but don’t be foolish, ha de Gött!
This is some kind of Polypore fungi that grows on dead wood. In this case a fallen Ash tree. Temperature just got over freezing point 0°C so the frost transformed into these fantastic drops.
Hang on when things fall, ha de Gött!
These bright red berries under the snow sits on the Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus). In Swedish Olvon. The berries does not taste very well so they are left on the up to five meters high bushes even during winter. They are edible in small quantities even if it’s toxic causing vomiting and diarrhea. It has a distinct acidic taste. Used in nature medicine to relieve muscle cramps.
Don’t judge by the exterior, ha de Gött!
