A new CD from Accept comes out today… “Blood of the Nations” was just OK in my book, and I don’t expect “Stalingrad” to be much better. Accept probably won’t ever be better than “Restless and Wild” to me. I wouldn’t mind seeing them live again this summer.

Ever taken a photo without flash at 1 a.m.? Usually the photos aren’t very successful unless you leave the shutter open for a long time. However, for this photo the shutter was open for just 1/2 second. The secret? I took it in early July in northern Sweden, a time of year and place in which things never get completely dark.

If you are ever zipping around in your boat on the Baltic Sea and need a place to rest for the evening, the Port of Gävle is a nice little place to moor your transportation.

Today’s random desktop image takes me back to Sweden and to summer. Good times.
