Entering Gothenburg Central Station from Queen's Square. An old building renovated and put together with more buildings to make up a modern central station. In a few years, there'll also be an underground station, when the West link is ready to take into use.

Klappgröt, whipped semolina porridge with lingonberries, topped with a few blueberries. This sometimes were a meal served at our school back during the 1980's when I was a kid. It tastes quite delicious, really.

Two years since Hamas brutal attac against innocent Israeli people, many of them young. After that, Israel's horrible war against Gaza's citizens followed. Let's never forget that Hamas and it's leaders are as rotten as Netanyahu and his government is. Neither of them deserve any kind of respect.

Sometime, when I think of how awful the current Swedish government are handling environmental issues, it's good to see that the rest of the world keeps evolving. Like in French Polynesia, where the world's biggest marine park is established to protect Ocean life

⬆️ The silurians. Rory being an active investigator in his own. Neve McIntosh really brings life and depth to the character of Alaya

⬇️ The fact nobody sawcthe kid disappear

A rewatchable episode? ✅ I like it, for making the silurians belivable

Neve McIntosh shines as the silurian creature of Alaya

Today's sunrise makes me feel like I'm walking on the surface of Venus or something. Not that anyone could walk there and survive the pressure or the deadly sulfur rain, but the colour of the sky reminds me of that planet.

Are we heading for Venus? Well, that'd definently be the Final Countdown for mother Earth.

You give me calm after the storm.
The storm named Amy has passed by Sweden the last couple of days, turning summer to autumn. Time for a cup of coffee at Dalsland Art Museum, located right by the Upperud River in western Sweden.
