Swedish west coast: Lysekil

WELCOME TO THE SWEDISH WEST COAST

Last week I travelled to 2 parts of Sweden. Norrköping and SWEDISH WEST COAST. The last – West Coast is the most beautiful part of Sweden( if I can say that here is one part more prettier than other). I love Swedish west coast. Today I show Lysekil, where your dream come true!!!!you can climb a big rock and see the city and also much of the Swedish west Coast and the horizont. But if u like to live the nature, welcome to Lysekil. Do u know the place to your honey moon? Lysekil. Do u know a place where u can be in love? Lysekil.An interesting hotel there is STADSHOTELLET and At this hotel, you feel in the past century and know a bit about the Swedish furniture. My love story with Lysekil started in 2005, when I watched the tv serie Saltön. Oh!!!!!After that, I moved to Brazil and in 2008 I came back to Sweden and I continue in love with Swedish West coast..But…The place is ideal for u to walk alone, talking with yourself…I prefer the morning, before sunrise and the afternoon, when I look to the city and see many people walking in front of the marine. All these photos were taken between 5:00am – 7:00 am.

I’m emotionally very upset after I saw the video of Ingrid Betancourt , ex- Colombian Senator, arrested and released by the Farc, being raped by multiple men. I have not slept well. I cry easily. I have difficulties to concentrate on anything and do not know if I’ll think good today. It was something that really hurt me inside. Yesterday, I told my daughter and the tears came down, do u know? I begin to lose hope in humanity. I think the world is over and we do not know. The only thing I know is that violence against women is a very high index. The men are more animals than before. Here in Sweden, the journal has numbered as many girls 14-18 years have lost their lives in the past 12 months. All victims of companions, friends, colleagues, men. What’s happening with the world?

Next week…a new place in…SWEDISH WEST COAST or Norrköping. Wait for me!(Väntar på mig!)

Semana passada, eu visitei duas partes da Suécia: Norrköping e A Costa Oeste, uma das partes mais lindas da Suécia. Se é que podemos falar que, neste pais, uma parte é mais linda que a outra. Hoje, eu estou mostrando Lysekil, uma cidade que parece uma casinha de boneca. Fotógrafos do mundo inteiro visitam a cidade por causa de uma pedra enorme que tem lá e, dela, vê-se a cidade e grande parte da costa oeste. A primeira vez que estive em Lysekil foi em 2005, depois de assistir à minisserie Saltön, uma novelinha água com acucar mas…de paisagens deslumbrantes. Em Lysekil tem um hotel maravilhoso, com móveis do século passado. Localizado em frente a uma feira livre, vocè ver, de dentro dos quartos, gaivotas voando sem parar. Um belo lugar para lua de mel e mutia paixao.

Eu estou muito abalada emocionalmente depois que eu vi o video daIngrid Betancourt , ex-Senadora Colombiana, presa pelas FARCS e libertada, recentemente, sendo violentada por vários homens. Eu nao tenho conseguido dormir direito. Choro com facilidade. Tenho dificildades de me concentrar em qualquer coisa e nao sei se eu terei condicoes de pensar direito. Foi algo que, realmente, me machucou por dentro. Ontem, eu contava á minha filha e as lágrimas desciam, sabe? Eu comeco a perder a esperanca na Humanidade. Acho que o Mundo acabou e nao sabemos. A única coisa que sei é que a violëncia contra a mulher está num indice muito alto. O ser humano se animaliza a cada dia mais. Aqui, na Suécia, o jornal numerou quantas meninas de 14 a 18 anos perderam a vida , nos últimos 12 meses. Todas, vítimas de companheiros, amigos, colegas, homens. O que está acontecendo com o Mundo?

Don’t loose your faith in humanity Grace, the truth is MOST people are very, very good…horrible things happen daily, its true, but on the whole, I have found most people to be kind.

Ações indignas sempre são chocantes, contudo, creio que fico mais chocado quando são praticadas por quem se propõe a criar um mundo justo e fraterno.

Evidentemente não isento ou deixo de combater todos os casos, mas alguns casos minam nossa confiança no futuro da humanidade.

No Brasil vivemos um momento histórico complexo e delicado, pois quem vendeu o sonho de mudança manteve e aprofundou as práticas mais espúrias e conta com dois apoios fundamentais: dos banqueiros e dos que sobrevivem de esmolas.

Sinto-me como se vivesse no Zimbabwe onde Robert Mugabe, por muitos anos, alimentou o sonho de uma sociedade igualitária, justa e fraterna… deu no que deu.

Contudo, não abdico dos meus sonhos, eles mantêm minha capacidade de ser livre e ao mesmo tempo me humanizam, da forma que desejo que seja a humanidade.

Ligar bonito, mas Grace, infelizmente não podemos salvar todos, porém não quer dizer que não salvaremos pessoas deste mundo louco que humanidade anda criando…

E animo amiga =P

Fique com Deus, menina Grace Olsson.
Um abraço.

It is so horrible the violence that exists but I still have hope for humanity.

These are such beautiful shots. The coastal towns have such beautiful buildings and I love the rocky shores. The natural beautiful as well as the architectural beauty is captured so well in this series.

It will be time that does judge life, it will as well take above and beyond, allowing one to escape into such beautiful scenery as your photography.

That is a truly beautiful part of the world, your photos bring it home.

I think that most people are basically good. Unfortunately, the bad ones get the headlines. Even in the basic political discourse these days, the loudest, most extreme views tend to get the most publicity. I’m a man and thinking about what you wrote makes me sick, and the people I know feel the same way. In the armed forces, there are many who put their lives on the line for good causes. But they’re not the ones who make the news – it’s the bad apples that get all the attention.

Such a beautiful place the coast of Sweeden is..and you captured the beauty of a very wonderful place to contemplate and rest.
I agree with one who said ..do not loose faith in humanity..and all men are not beasts (my words).

Hi there, I hear you in your sad moments. Me too, I feel depressed once I hear people being abused. Those stories really want us women to be reminded that we have to be careful all the time. We are fragile in this world. Great shots you got here.

Eu não vi e não vou ver.Sinceramente não tenho estômago nem preparo pra ver essas coisas,nenhuma delas;o que não signifique que eu duvide das mais torpes ações do ser humano movidas pelos mais baixos instintos e maldades calculadas.O que me resta é a contínua perplexidade,a impotência,mas também a esperança;essa ainda sobrevive e Deus queira que não morra.
P.S.Não sou banqueira nem vivo de esmolas;o que não significa que apoie tudo.
