  • Happy Midsummer! Part 2

    Happy Midsummer! Part 2

    Fullspectrum converted Canon EOS 80D, IR 720 nm

    The may pole is dressed with leafy twigs, usually birch, and decorated with wild flowers. In many places people gather in the morning to dress the Maypole, then gather again in the afternoon to carry the pole to the place where it is to be erected. Those who owns a local traditional costume dress up for this special occation.

    The pole is long and heavy, it takes several people to carry it, often in procession with fiddlers playing folk music. The lifting itself is also a procedure and takes place with special tools. While waiting for the pole to rise up to its full glory, there is entertainment in the form of music, song and speeches.

    Once the pole is up, we finally get to dance! We sing about the little frogs and the fox that rush across the ice. The fact that it’s in the middle of summer doesn’t matter, the fox can still run across the ice because we’re happy that it is summer and the light are finally here and now it’s only 6 months until Christmas and the darkness, but today we’re happy!

    Glad midsommar!

  • Happy Midsummer!

    Happy Midsummer!

    In Sweden, midsummer is one of the most important holidays, it is celebrated with maypole raising and parties.

    We always go to Dalarna and celebrate with friends and family. Most people celebrate Midsummer on Midsummer Eve, the small village where we celebrate does it on Midsummer Day. The special thing about Dalarna is that midsummer is celebrated on different days during the summer, so it is possible to celebrate several times for those who want.

    When the pole is raised, we dance around it and sing dance songs.

    Midsummer also includes a smorgasbord of good food and high-calorie desserts. But it doesn’t matter because we’ve danced!

    Glad midsommar!

  • Winter at the Camping

    Winter at the Camping

    It’s winter at the campsite. There are some caravans inside the camping area but I don’t know if anyone is there or if they are just parked for winter storage.

    Out by the bathing area, the beach that is well visited during summer, it is empty and deserted except for some ducks that descided to not fly south in the autumn. They’re not in much of a hurry to save energy, they probably freeze those poor little souls too.

    I continue round the cape. Watching the view. Looking away towards the women’s prison and the destinies that hide there.

    I continue back to the car, turn on the heat and go home to safety again.

    Infrared 720 nm, shot with Canon EOS 80D fullspectrum converted.

    Flammable.
    Must not be deflated with oxygen.
    Transport equipment.

    An old wagon with a big, rusty tank that has seen its best days. I wish I had taken a photograph of the other side, somewhere it must say what was transported in the tank. Now I have to content myself with thinking that the tank is empty.

  • Forged in fire

    Forged in fire

    Once a year, on the second Sunday of August, the blacksmith opens the door to the forge and lets us view the handiwork. Heats and shapes, heats and shapes until the nail, hinge or whatever it may be he is shaping is ready. Because the sun always shine on this special day, the weather has got its own name: Dammtôrpavä’r (Dammtorp’s weather after the place where this all happens).

  • Abandoned train part four

    Abandoned train part four

    Old freight cars have such a beautiful patina. The wind-ravaged wood, the rusted metal. The remains of what was once shipped are mixed with the plant power in the shipping space. It is so exciting what power there is in life, what will to get ahead and survive even for the smallest blade of grass.

  • Taking the old road

    Taking the old road

    Fullspectrum converted Canon EOS 80D, IR 720 nm

    The old road runs parallel to the new one. It is a little more crooked and a little narrower. I take my walks along that road because it’s quieter to go that way, avoid the village and avoid the traffic.

    The roads have been straightened as the traffic got faster, the first time they were straightened for the milk truck to arrive. It was both wider and faster than the horse and cart that went around the countryside and picked up milk barrels with fresh milk for transport to the dairy.

  • Abandoned train part three

    Abandoned train part three

    All aboard! Where has this cart been? Who has gone with it? Maybe I have done it at some point? I’ve traveled quite a lot by train in my days.

    As a time optimist, I seldom look forward to the train journey the last moment before I board the train. There are so many times that I have jumped on the train at the very last second. The fact that you can now buy a ticket via an app on the platform before you jump on the train increases the excitement a notch.

  • Abandoned train part two

    Abandoned train part two

    Arrival! Travel is associated with so many different emotions. Some trips are just for fun, others are forced out of necessity. For me, it’s usually a combination of both because I usually take the train when I go to the office and work. I work remotely from home, so the times I have to go to work turn into pleasant outings with little chance for social interaction.

  • Abandoned train part one

    Abandoned train part one

    Along a long-since closed railway are some forgotten train cars. No one has taken care of them for a long time. I can’t help but wonder who rode the carriage, who sat by the window watching the scenery go by?
