The ship-building business is a traditional industry in Gothenburg. Structural change in the global economy ended this some 50 years ago. Still there are some smaller ship building yards left on the Hisingen side of the river. Picture from August 22. 2012
Gothenburg is divided by the river “Göta Älv”. I often use the shuttle ferry when I need to go over to Hisingen island. Used the iPhone to catch the combination of the icy cold water today and that colorful January light.

Isla Mujeres, Yucatan Mexiko. Take the ferry from the mainland to this quiet little island not far from Cancun. (That´s my daughter Kajsa standing at the palm tree admiring the sunset)
If you feel like more adventures you can go by motorboat further out in the Gulf of Mexico to Isla Contoy National Park, a rare unspoilt bird protection island .
It´s not uncommon to see persons with metal detectors in Cuba and actually they score quite often. This is Playa del Este, east of Havana. I´m not sure the instrument indicated a hit on this spot..
I regularly walk or run along this creek. Those who follow my blog have seen images from this place representing different seasons… this one would be the final sign of the autumn 2012.
Änggårdsbergen, Gothenburg.
By the way, be careful with your compact camera in humid places. Mine gave up completely a week ago perhaps for being a bit over ambitious along this creek.

This photo taken a couple of days ago is straight out of the camera. Just a tiny bit of sharpening over the bridge section.. that’s it.
Perhaps God has started a Photoshop class. Todays lesson “the saturation tool”
