IMPORT EXPORT….
In Gothenburg, at the river mouth of Göta älv you´ll find the largest harbour in Scandinavia.
Second hand
A phenomena that is growing, second-hand, flea market or “loppis” as it´s called in Sweden. For a street photographer its a tempting environment. These pics are from today and another occasion a month ago. Post number 300 on this blog that started in September a year ago, Well done Håkan!
Guajiro!

Guajiro is the denomination for farmer in Cuba.
Market man!
A short encounter at the market place in Saranda a couple of weeks ago. I think this man reflects much of the Albanian character as I found it during my short visit in the country.. humbleness, kindness!
Hard bargain!
A tough Romani woman negotiating in Saranda, Albania!
Give me a brake at Llogara!
It was a breathtaking moment when the small bus started to descend the steep Llogara mountain between Vlora and Saranda in the south Albanian coast. The serpentine road is one of the most dramatic I´ve sen, and I have crossed the Andes several times!
It became even more thrilling when my seat neighbor told me graphically with lots of details about a fatal accident a month ago not far from here. 13 passengers died!
A few minutes later when the typical smell of overheated brakes became evident in the “furgon” all passengers, muslims, catholics, orthodoxies and atheists looked at that rosary in the front window and made a silent prayer..
The driver, concentrated and increasingly pale managed somehow finally to stop the bus for a thirty minute cool down pause!
Berat, Albania!

Bubble economy?

Spanish borrowing costs has rocketed lately! Hope the solution wont be dramatic?
