Fägata

Fägata is a path intended for domestic cattle that runs between the center of the summer pasture or village to the outfield, surrounded by wooden or stone fenced yards on both sides. Fäbod, fäbodvall or sæter is a collection of buildings such as cottages, farmhouses and cookhouses for the operation of a shack. The stables are often used only periodically to keep cattle on often higher pastures that were more or less far from the farm that owned the cattle. Shacks, which were only inhabited during the summer, were formerly a common feature in forests and mountain areas in Scandinavia and the Alps

The Half - Finished Heaven
Despondency breaks off its course.
Anguish breaks off its course.
The vulture breaks off its flight.
The eager light streams out,
even the ghosts take a draught.
And our paintings see daylight,
our red beasts of the ice-age studios.
Everything begins to look around.
We walk in the sun in hundreds.
Each man is a half-open door
leading to a room for everyone.
The endless ground under us.
The water is shining among the trees.
The lake is a window into the earth.
- Tomas Tranströmer Nobel Prize in Literature 2011

The Land That Is Not
I long for the land that is not,
For all that is, I am weary of wanting.
The moon speaks to me in silvern runes
About the land that is not.
The land where all our wishes become wondrously fulfilled,
The land where all our fetters fall,
The land where we cool our bleeding forehead
In the dew of the moon.
My life was a burning illusion,
But one thing I have found and one thing I have really won -
The road to the land that is not.
-Edith Södergran

Last Days of Summer
“I was alone on a sunny shore
by the forest’s pale blue lake,
in the sky floated a single cloud
and on the water a single isle.
The ripe sweetness of summer dripped
in beads from every tree
and straight into my opened heart
a tiny drop ran down.
"Forest Lake” by Edith Södergran

Incredible Öland
Öland is an island located in the Baltic Sea off Sweden's southeast coast. Öland is Sweden's smallest landscape. Between Öland and the mainland there is an approximately 6 km wide strait, Kalmarsund. Land connection is available via the Öland Bridge, which runs between Färjestaden on Öland and Kalmar on the mainland. About 26,000 people live on Öland. Larger urban areas are Mörbylånga, Färjestaden, Borgholm and Löttorp.
Thanks to the open landscape, the wind has always been used to grind grain and fodder. Öland is therefore known for its windmills . Today there are about 300 left.
