The Ark at Liseberg....

The Ark, Liseberg, July 25

The Ark has announced that the current tour is their last. I did see them twice this year, and Ola Salo is certainly a showman. Some of their songs are really good and "Breaking Up With God" ....is a favorite.

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 Fertilia is an excellent example of rationalist architecture, and is in every aspect a precious historical document.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
