Omberg Eco Park
Västra väggar – Western Walls.
Yesterday I was trekking around Eco Park Omberg, some 21 km. It is a fantastic area where you can be inspired by orchids, feel the strong smell from ramsons, hike along enormous oaks or enjoy the amazing view at various heights.

Svanängen aka Loney Dear
Svanängen and Stålhberg.
A week ago I was at an amazing concert with Emil Svanängen, aka Loney Dear. Together with him on stage was Malin Ståhlberg, Junekvintetten, John Bauers Brass and Mats Olsson. The concert hall was packed with an enthusiastic crowd.
This concert was a part of a tour within Jönköping County called “Svanängen on Tour”.
I was in such a hurry for the concert that I forgot to bring my “big” DSLR camera. Kind of funny, but thank God, my small camera was in my pocket!
On this video they are playing a new tune, filmed with small camera.
Contemporary art
At the moment there is a lovely art exhibition of Swedish contemporary art, The Gannevik Collection, at The County museum.

At the end of August I went some 100 km south of Jönköping, to attend a a concert at Lekaryd Church, outside Alvesta. Linda Pettersson, an amazing jazz singer and artist, together with fantastic guitarist Krister Jonsson were performing. This was one of the better concerts I ever been to!
I wish more people would discover this brilliant music! Please check out the amazing album Remembering (at Spotify).
