Birdman

I made friends with Yaniel in Viñales in the western part of Cuba. He has spent his whole life in that particular valley in Pinar del Rio province.

Yaniel is surrounded by animals of all sorts, horses, dogs, cattle and above all birds. The nature itself is his teacher and what Yaniel does´nt know about birds is not worth knowing.

By the way, do they see the same hairdresser??

Winter came. The creek along my walking trail in Änggårdsbergen is dressed in ice. This was earlier today when I was trying to get my daily dose of sun light.

Gothenburg twilight

It´s not always necessary to go to The Seychelles or Cuba for a nice scenery. I have a live postcard waiting all the time just 2 minutes from where I live in Masthugget, Gothenburg.

This view over Majorna and Älvsborgsbron constantly changes according to weather or light conditions. Those who follow my blog have seen it before and will most probably see it again.

See you in Cebreiro

Posted by hakanronnblad on November 28, 2012

Every year at September 8 around 30 000 people gather on top of the mountain in the Galician village Pedrafita do Cebreiro.

Some turn up for religious reasons but most of the visitors come for la fiesta. Transportation varies, quite a few persons walk as it is along the pilgrim route Camino de Santiago, some people go by car or bicycle and others take the horse.

The village is situated at the border between Leon and Galicia. At the church Santa Maria la Real you supposedly will find the Holy Grail.. there where some people also commenting about a visit by the Virgin herself some time ago. Lots of saints and virgins passes by in these regions!!
