Ostindiefararen Götheborg
August 18, 2003




Hooking up with Torbjörn...




...to see how the true replica of the old East Indies freight ship 'Götheborg' is coming along.

Passing by the new, prime location of the Hasselblad headquarters.

...and there she is. Slated to sail next year.














On the way back into town, I grab a peek at the giant tunnel that's gonna handle all the major traffic through Gothenburg - Götatunneln.
You see why Hasselblad left their old building.
Also wishing my camera wouldn't act up like this...




Sweden is in the process of voting for EMU - switching to Euro as currency.
This t-shirt proclaims 'radikal tja' (radical maybe) which may not be just quite what they intended.




There's also some time to look at Torbjörn's workplace - Imego.




'Earth from above' Yann Arthus Bertrand photo exhibit on King's Square (Kungstorget)




Evening falls, and I board a bus back to Uddevalla.




The bus drops me off no further than a walking distance from home.




There's a shortcut through the forest.














dramatic skies, home soon
