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.
At the moment there is a lovely art exhibition of Swedish contemporary art, The Gannevik Collection, at The County museum.
Linda Pettersson, Krister Jonsson.
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).
Visingsö landscape.
This summer season I have been walking quite a lot! A couple of times I visited the lovely island Visingsö. I love the landscape on this island!
Flower in the meadow.
I continue my good summer habit to walk longer distance in the nature. It’s an interesting way of getting to know beautiful and interesting places in the nearby region and at the same time getting a good workout!
This time I was walking the Erikgatuleden and later in Nyckelås Nature reserve.
The Stråken trail.
A couple of weeks ago I walked the Stråken trail, around the lake Stråken, in the Mullsjö area. At half distance I sat on a stone by the lake shore, having greek salad, some bread and later coffee. An interesting mix of Greek food culture and the lovely Swedish nature at it’s best!
