High wind in Gothenburg
A high wind puts paid to spring cleaning, but I have photos from an earlier year. And I’m playing a Twitter-based word game called Artwiculate.
Wultan warrior – some fragments of Anglo-Saxon verse
As Wultan watched/The wizen wizard wove his words,/Warp and weft, wending, winding./His wizen wisdom’s yet worth wealth,/Thought Wultan.
Plume bloom – thermal inversion over Gothenburg
This plume (hopefully of steam) probably illustrates the lid that the thermal inversion puts on the city in fine, windless weather.
Two Taciturn Men
