Strange Fruit

Supercargo has posted a doc:

This tree grows near the entrance to a local park. This year, passers by have started to use it to hang found objects on. Very specific found objects! Strange fruit, I thought.

My niece Cecilia and her friend Emma improvised the background music for this video. You can hear more music by both of them if you go to their Myspace pages.

Map of the Riparian Republic

nobody@ipernity.com (Supercargo) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:32:27 +0000

Supercargo has posted a doc:

The Riparian Republic was the largest of the early successor states to the USA following the collapse caused by the Great Flood of 2050. The Postdeluvian Era saw a mass renaming of surviving cities (and the creation of not a few completely new ones. Curiously, the capital of the Riparian Republic, Springfield in what was formerly the State of Illinois, was one of the few cities to retain its antedeluvian name. Supposedly, the Riparian Republic's first President, Lisa Simpson had a hand in this.

So different

Victor - helicopter pilot

Victor (aged 7) is very interested in machinery. Especially he loved this helicopter at the Aeroseum.

A long walk to the Aeroseum

Supercargo has posted a doc:

Our forward planning was a little dodgy. We hadn't realised it was half a kilometre from the nearest bus stop to the air museum at Säve. But Victor gamely walked the whole way - and back after our visit.

Victor and Agneta read a book

Supercargo has posted a doc:

My godson Victor is also my wife's nephew. He came to visit over the weekend. Out on the town waiting for a bus was an opportunity to read his favourite book (again). The book is "Jag kan laga alla bilar" (I can fix all sorts of cars).

My godson Victor (aged 7) came to visit over the weekend. He lives in a small town north of here so a visit to Gothenburg is a visit to the Big City. He was very impressed by the lifts in the Universeum on Friday.

Video installation

An arts festival in Gothenburg running through the Autumn had a lot of video installations. I know I oughtn't be taking photos ... but couldn't resist trying the camera in my mobile phone.

Lingon berries sold by the scoop

Supercargo has posted a doc:

IKEA stores around the world serve these up with "Swedish" meatballs - thought you might like to see them as sold from a market stall near here. This pic has been languishing in the memory of my mobile phone for a month. (In Britain at least IKEA call these "cranberries". They aren't.)

The end of season magnolia

This magnolia is beautiful in the spring with it's white blossoms.

Big moles

Supercargo has posted a doc:

They look like molehills to me - but I wouldn't want to meet one of the moles. I'm a bit worried about Lena C out there. What if they suddenly drag her down underground. Will I have to rush to dig her up again?

Autumn acers

I don't know what these flowers are called. Pretty though!

Ice on the water

Supercargo has posted a doc:

Ice on the surface of the water of the pond in the Gothenburg Botanical Gardens. Like the photo of the leaf (below), this was taken into the sun. It's not desaturated, but it might almost as well be.

Leaf with drops of water (desaturated)

Supercargo has posted a doc:

This leaf floating on the surface of the water was caught in the glare of the sun and the colour version is practially the same as this. Not a lot of desaturating, in other words. (Worth a visit to the large version, I think.)
