We went to buy food....and found Fertilia !

Built in the late 30`s by the fascist government, Fertilia is like landing in a neo-realist film, where time has stood still. It is a shame that this village is allowed to decay to such a level, almost as if the present authorities are ashamed of their own history. Fertilia is an excellent example of rationalist architecture, and is in every aspect a precious historical document.

Found also a book about Fertilia: "Fertilia", 2007, by Eugenio Cocco

Jim Morrison

December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971

Life is so short....and death is so long. How was the other side, Jim ?

"Where the action is" at Slottsskogen, June 28. Coldplay, Glasvegas, Brandon Flowers and others....

Music festivals are not really my "cup of tea". For a lot of good things, may give rise to indigestion....and there is almost no time between the main courses. It is not fun for an artist to play the last song, and see much of the audience rush to the next scene. But Slottsskogen is a lovely park, and the weather was the very best....

 


Something was missing this evening….don`t ask me what!              ff
I still have that concert at Stockholms Stadium back in August 2009….in my head. For some reason, I needed “Fix You”….and I saw a little bird in the sky.

Nopreiro 2002-2011

Nopreiro was a wonderful bird and a faithful friend for 9 years. Now he is gone, but his vivacity and beautiful white/turquoise color will forever remind me of the sea in Sardinia. Fly little bird fly....

Porto Ferro....

Porto Ferro reminds me of the beautiful Guincho Beach in Portugal. If you ever swim here on a windy day....be very careful with the sea currents.

Ringo and his All Starr Band at Liseberg....

Liseberg, June 12, 2011

This was about the closest I would ever get to "The Beatles". Musically, it was much like Madame Tussauds....with sound; and when Ringo sings "Yellow Submarine", I just get the urge to pull out the bottom plug. 

Ringo Starr, Edgar Winter, Wally Palmar, Rick Derringer, Gary Wright, Richard Page and Graig Bissonnette
