On Sunday I took part in a Geek Walk along the long streets – Långgatorna. Several of us on the walk were photographers. Show a photographer a graffiti covered wall with peeling paint and paper see what happens…
Or a curiously stacked bicycle.
Or reflections of Madness in the window of a record shop.
This baloon-crowned young woman was advertising the 4-Gott sweet shop (candy store) at Lilla Bomen during the Göteborgsvärvet. She was happy to smile for my camera. That’s a baloon cutlass she’s holding, by the way.
4-Gott (an idiomatic translation would be “2-Good”) had an ad up offering a kilo of free sweets to anyone who ran the half-marathon in one of their t-shirts. Now there’s an offer: Run a healthy race and then pig out on our sugar and gelatine. Stay Fat 4-Good!
Göteborgsvarvet – the Gotheburg Half-marathon – is largest half-marathon in Sweden and claims to be the largest in the world: 62,000 took part this year (18th May). Here the runners are coming off the Göta Älv Bridge into the city centre.
One of the refreshment stations on the Göteborgsvarvet from above. That’s not water – I’m hoping it’s squash!
At the same refreshment station, runners run through a litter of paper cups dropped by the runners up ahead.
I have so many photos of red, sweaty, tortured faces. Too many. Far too many!
An old, slightly rusted cast-iron frying-pan with a wooden handle on the cover of a drain by the side of roadworks between Kvillestaden and Götaverket.
Mindre grupp på förskolan! Smaller groups in pre-school!
Parents and pre-school children (and maybe an elder brother or sister) in Gustaf Adolfs Torg on Wednesday 15th May, protesting at the size of classes in Göteborg’s nursery schools.
Street art in knitted fabric on a signpost by Sprängkullsgatan at the entrance to Haga Kyrkoplan. The fabric is marked with a tag that points to the website of The Gothenburg Guerrilla. Comparing this picture with the one on the Guerrilla’s website, I see I missed the little face at the bottom. You pride yourself on your observation, but pride comes before a fall!
