The spring has not sprung yet, but it will on the hills above the sea around Kåseberga. What hides below the soil I do not know but I do know that I am impressed by the stick straight rows and geometry of today’s GPS assisted farming techniques. As the human effects on the planet with climate changes and wars increase, …
Kåseberga Chronicles #14
The days are again getting longer and the light brings back life, a force fostering life. A long walk along the South coast calls for a stop at an old “eel cabin” (ålabod) to frame the last rays through an old window. The temperature is dropping fast to bite in the skin. In the sky an aircraft pass by, a …
Kåseberga Chronicles #13
It was the last day of February, a Monday, it was a blustery winters wind. On the cusp of a slope overlooking the Baltic Sea sails fluttered one by one in the uplift and then they stepped off the steep slope to take to the blue skies for the first mass flight this year. #parasail, #skärmflyg, #bluesky, #blåhimmel, #Kåseberga, #Österlen, …
Kåseberga Chronicles #12
Four winter storms in a row have certainly carved a mark on the sandy beach camping at Löderup. Just two days ago I parked my bike next to a lamp post near the beach. Today I found the sand where it stood gone and the galvanized light pole face down by water’s edge. Once buried electric cables stick out of …
Kåseberga Chronicles #11
A few days of rowdy January weather followed by a minor cold snap leave frozen remnants of salty sea on a the wires of a cattle fence dipping into the waves. Seaweed frozen into milky crystals, a sinking sun peak through melting icicles. #ice, #icemelt, #icicles, #sunset, #sea,#salt, #melt, #rockybeach, #Kåseberga, #Österlen, #seaweed, #osterlen

On cold days Mallards flock and bob along the shore. But they won’t let you get close and lift off forming a fascinating frame at sunset, Kåseberga, Sweden (Photo: Henry Arvidsson / henryarvidsson.com) #Mallard, #gräsand, #birds, #Kåseberga, #Österlen
Kåseberga Chronicles #9
The shifting sands of the wide beach at Sandhammaren are a mere 10 k bike ride from Kåseberga. The shores have gone from steep slopes and rolling rocks to grass covered dunes ending in a wide beach with sand so even grained as if it had been emptied from a giant hour-glass. On a sunny blustery winters day at the …
Kåseberga Chronicles #8
Snow brings silence and stillness, It brightens up the darkest of days and cover resting ground with a shiny new surface. It enhances or drowns existing shapes or creates entirely new ones with winds help. On thin leafless branches red berries still hang for snow to attach. It forms new shapes and give sparkle to the cycle of life. A …
Kåseberga Chronicles #7
“It was a dark and stormy night….”. Well not quite but it certainly it was blustery, icy, a few degrees subzero and sunset. The waves were way taller than normal and surfers flocked to get the most of it. Faint smoke puffed from the woodburning heater and spread a warm orange glow through a fogged up glass pane. As the …
Kåseberga Chronicles #6
A bit further afield in the Scanian landscape there are some milling about. Gently wing-clipped with the grain dust swept out some become rounded rooms lit with stars. #stars, #windmill, #väderkvarn, #Peppinge
