explosions
Two loud explosions echoed through Fiskis later in the evening. Don't know it if was something inside the old school or explosives used by the firefighters.
another side of fiskis
On my way home from the fire I took this picture of a side of Fiskis I very rarely see.
schoolyard
Now the fire really starts to get hold on the building. It goes fast. The fire-brigade and the police starts to arrive.
in flames
The back doors were in flames. The fire probably started in an old trash can or something. There were loads of easy to burn crap lying around on the ground.
sun, smoke & trees
Since I'm a curious bastard I started to walk towards the smoke. And of course I managed to take another picture of a sunset on my way there! Damn I'm good!
fire in the house
It started to smell really bad in my appartment. A thick smoky smell. Thought one of my neighbours tried to destroy some evidence or something on the balchony. Then I saw this pillar of white smoke rising from Båthöjden (Boat Hill).
global warming
Went down to Holmen this weekend. It was summer temperatures in the air. Unfortunately not in the water but I didn't care. Took a swim both on Saturday and Sunday. It was great.
late night reruns II
Here's another one in my series of nostalgic pictures of sunsets and satellite dishes. Enjoy!
finally a new season of weeds
Just watched the first six episodes of season two. Didn't really like the first one... but the rest... I've been laughing constantly for a couple of hours now! It's so good! Can't wait for the next episode. Mary-Louise Parker, Kevin Nealon, Justin Kirk and Alexander Gould are absolutely fantastic. Kevin Nealon reminds me a bit of Chevy Chase in the 70's when he still was funny. And Meital Dohan... my God! I'm ready to convert! I hope the rest of the season will be this good - then the autumn is saved.
on my way to work
A beautiful morning in Fiskis and short break before I start running to the commuter train.

ultravox!
Finally! Island/Universal has re-released remastered versions of the first three Ultravox! albums. Do yourself a favour and buy them.
The first album, Ultravox!, was released in 1977 and is a bit uneven. But it contains two classic tracks - "I Want to be a Machine" and "My Sex".
The second album, Ha! Ha! Ha!, was also released in 1977. If the first album was some kind of electronic glam rock this album is much more inspired by the punk scene. Eventhough that's hard to hear on the most stand out song of the album, the hypnotic and chillingly beautiful Hiroshima Mon Amour. The CD also contains the brilliant Young Savage and the great first version of Hiroshima Mon Amour from the b-side of the ROckWrock single. Very different, very distorted and absolutely wonderful.
The third, and best album, Systems of Romance, was released in 1978. It's cold electronic and very european rock sound was hugely influential on artists like Gary Numan, Japan and pop acts like Duran Duran.
carlos & the man that built fiskis
On my way home from Holmen I met Britt-Marie (an old colleague of mine) and her husband Carlos at East. They had some beers together with The Man that Built Fiskis. Unfortunately I don't remember his name. Mental note - don't drink more than three beers on a sunday afternoon before a work week.
holmen
I don't really know what people have against these toiletes but they seems to fall down very often.
dragonfly
This little dude landed on my blanket at Holmen. I think dragonflies are one of my top 3 insects together with bees and bumblebees.
indian summer
It's only 10 September so it's a bit too early for indian summer. But the summer came back in style anyway. Spent a couple of hours in the sun down at Holmen and took a swim in the sea. Not freezing cold in the water but pretty cold. Maybe 15°C.
late night reruns
Yeah, I know that I take pictures like this far too often but I just happen to like them.
snail
There have been plenty of snails this summer. This is my favourite kind, the Roman snail. They are really friendly and interesting to look at.
