Shimmering sea

Shimmering sea

The Sea Was Never So Shimmering, (så skimrande var aldrig havet) as iin the song by Evert Taube. Evert Taube (1890 – 1976) was, or still is, one of Sweden’s most respected poets and singer song writer. A national poet deeply embedded in the Swedish national identity. If you play a song by him all Swedes will be able to sing along. I attach a link to Youtube where Marie Fredriksson from Roxette sings the song ‘så skimrande var aldrig havet’, enjoy.

By the seaside everything comes together, ha de Gött!

There was this strange

man

Bald with gray

hair

A scary bushy pair of

eyebrows

Antennas from each

ear

Abyss deep wrinkled

skin

Must be something

wrong

With that foggy

mirror

Scary when you feel like that insecure boy and realize that reflection is you. Ha de Gött!

Fisherman

Fisherman

Alone time, just me time, hunter and collector

Back to, man against nature

Salmon trout lurking under the surface, spectator

Snitch the bait, see ya in the future

When alone is a choice it’s good, ha de Gött!

How high

How high

How high can a tree grow
Touch the sky, tickle Gods feet
Will They just giggle and enjoy
Or, be annoyed. Blow it down with a storm
How high can a tree grow
Green dress of Mother Earth
Will She smile and dance around 
Or, be bored. Preferring the Dress of blue
How high can a tree grow
Sun seeking branches, embracing shelter
Will the sun, play shadows hide and seek
Or, be harsh. Prance about in dessert sand

Hug a tree, for you and me, ha de Gött!

Hieroglyphs

Hieroglyphs

Secret message written on the rock. A message from mother nature to take better care of her. Like spoiled children we ask for more, more, more. But she is blue, the only one in the solar system.

Reduce, reuse, recycle, ha de Gött!

Moss

Moss

Walking in the soft green moss with the rustling leafs from last year around my feet. In the old culture landscape where nature slowly reclaims its territory in a wild softness. The bird song cacophony, warns of the one eyed intruder disturbing the mating calls.

Go green, ha de Gött!
