Rush hour

Rush hour

Rush hour in Havstenssund. The autumn evening shadow gently cover the houses, as the sun sets behind the cliffs. The little village prepare for the winter. Lobster fishermen moor their boats in the harbor. There is a chilly wind but in the street it is calm, sheltered by the houses and the white fences. Take a left to the gorge or go straight down to the harbor. Smell the fresh salted wind and listen to the boats tough by. Feel alive.

Breath in breath out, ha de Gött!

Archipelago

Archipelago

The almost green lichen covered red granite in the foreground makes a nice contrast to all the blue and gray. The sun breaking through the clouds almost causing a halo effect on the edge of the cliff. Another display of the gods light show.

Leave a light on, ha de Gött!

Overcast day

Overcast day

November is a challenge for the photographer. I set out on my bike in bright sunlight and moderate wind. I was set on exploring an area I drive pass every day but never visited. Once I got there the rain clouds appeared at the horizon, so the light conditions became, putting in mildly, tricky. The weather gods sitting there with the light switch, off, on, off, on. That is until they discovered the dimmer function. Don’t know if it was the seagulls laughing at me, or the gods. When I reached the top of the cliff they turn the lights out and hit me with a rain shower.

Just remember you can always slide downhill, ha de Gött!

Winding road

Winding road

There is a winding road. Winding along the forest.

Winding from here to there. A winding to the unknown.

From past time winding history. Till today’s winding reality.

News winding way to milk pallet. Mailman winding a letter down the box.

Wireless connection, pling in phone. Countryside winding down.

Know the past to dare explore, ha de Gött!

Closed

Closed

Abandoned. Slowly nature is taking back the old store. I remember coming here as a child to buy Norwegian chocolate or licorice pipes. The store is just a few meters from the border. Now it’s for many years closed and the building is for sale. Even the for sale sign has faded. You can still see the sign for Borg beer and trash can lid stating ‘Keep Sweden Clean’. Maybe this is the picture of the circular economy.

Progress is a double edge sword, ha de Gött!

Candelabrum

Candelabrum

This huge candelabrum is one of several on the Kings Gate Bridge or ‘Kungsportsbron’ in Göteborg. It’s a bridge over the moat surrounding the old town. On this place in the fortified city was the Kings Gate before the walls was dismantled in the beginning of 1800. The candelabrum was iron cast for the current bridge in 1901 by Göteborgs Mekaniska Verkstad that later became Götaverken. The same company I accidentally accused for criminal activities in a previous blog (find it here). Originally lit by gas, but probably not from royal flatulence.

Let the light shine on you, ha de Gött!
