Dear All, Having made various promises about being social on Ipernity (http://www.ipernity.com/blog/supercargo/165241), circumstances have confounded me. I'm travelling in England at the moment, and despite having a fine, new (very nearly) state of the ar…

Not sure what to call my recent state, but after a summer of intense photo activity (and not all of the pictures posted yet by any means) I found myself starting September with a feeling that I was exhausted with so much looking. This was particularly unf…

Prora, on the Baltic island of Rügen, was not quite the world's first holiday camp, but it was the first large-scale camp in concept. Designed by the Nazis to be an integral part of their Kraft durch Freude (KdF - Strength through Joy) workers' indoctrina…

On 29th December, after several grey days and relatively mild weather, the temperature dropped, though the fog remained. It lifted about midday and the sun shone out on a world transformed by hoarfrost. I grabbed my camera and took a short walk on our loc…

At 8 o'clock this morning with a heavy mist and a hard frost I thought it would turn out to be another cold grey day. Two hours later the sun was out and the views from my windows had changed dramatically!

I'm taking part in a competition to find an Internet 'face' and 'voice' for the Swedish Youth Hostel Association (STF). It all started on Saturday and has been a crazy weekend. Now I've uploaded a voice recording of my first blog entry on the matter. You…

My wife and I spent last week in Sundsvall in the north-east of Sweden. We lived in Sundsvall for 10 years in the 90s so it was fun to go back and visit our old haunts though a lot has changed since we moved away. We stayed with our friends Lena ("northof…

I have recently become the owner of an ultra portable netbook. I'm going to be taking it with me in order (I hope) to keep in touch while I'm travelling in England and around Sweden in the coming year. The screen image doesn't seem to have a great deal of…

Some people down the street were moving or renovating and turned this sad piano out into the street with the rest of their garbage. I imagine the piano had stood for years in an attic where rain water had dripped on the lid, causing the lacquer to flake a…

That's a bit unfair as a title. It was only wet on the first day! The first weekend in June, my wife and I spent a long weekend with our friend Efva visiting her home town, Vaxholm (also called Waxholm) on an island in Stockholm's northern archipelago. Th…

Once more, a bit delayed with these pictures. (I'm only uploading them exactly now because of this competition I've got myself involved in. "Sveriges svenskaste jobb" - Sweden's most Swedish job.) Still, some of them are quite nice I think. On Easter Mond…

It was cold but very still on the sea in Gothenburg's southern archipelago on 5th January. We used public transport - took the tram out to Saltholmen and then the ferry (part of the public transport system) to travel all the way out to Donsö and Styrsjö,…

I've just uploaded a voice recording which is now to be found on my home page - not quite what I had intended but OK. I am trying out different options for including sound recordings on my home page www.thesupercargo.com and was thinking of buying space o…

Dear fellow Ipernauts! About a month ago I made the decision to try to be more sociable on this site. I joined Ipernity from the F-site-that-shall-not-be-named during the great censorship controversy of 2006, and I've not regretted it. Although I've built…
