The Adventures of A Photographer - Peter Lindberg

Roseto in July.” The Calm” before the storm.

Oh yeah. Don’t let yourself be fooled. Roseto is a great place for a beach holiday. ay better than all those that you have heard of. My images show the kind of decay, dents, mishaps etc that makes places like Roseto feel OK, human and alive. Perfect does not make perfect. And also; many of the things that are not perfect are not the fault of the people here. here might be things drifting in from the Adriatic Sea. Careless sailors that have thrown things overboard. Mobsters across the sea that dump their contracted garbage in a lagoon instead of having it burnt at the garbage-incinery. And of course there are some of the owners of the much wanted beach-clubs that are just in it for a quick buck. Not many, but a few… the season is short.

Welcome to Roseto

Most of the year Roseto Degli Abruzzo stays dormant like  a tundra mouse hibernating until the brief summer. Roseto wakes during July to explode during August and the fade back to sleep during September. Now it’s July.

Roseto and the Adriatic Sea.

Roseto and the rest of the coast is coming out of it’s winter slumber. The boards are taken off the windows of the beach-clubs and restaurants along the Lungomare. More than a few adrift souls find their way to the beach were the Adriatic sea meets the sand, and the boardwalk. Winter turning into spring with green leaves emerging from the trees branches and temperatures over 15° C. Now we are happy again.

A panorama over Vasaplatsen at the brink of spring.

Vasaplatsen in central Göteborg, next to the university (Göteborgs Universitet, the original building; today spread out over many more locations in the city) is a bit of a quiet eye, a place for a coffee in the sun by the fountain. Among bustling traffic and trams, backdropped by  the Jugend (Art Noveux) buildings of Vasastaden and as said above, below the old university-building. Once occupied by boozed out drunkards and smack-users, Vasaplatsen is now cleaned up and a valuable spot in town. Enjoy!

He kept himself alive so others might not miss him. Family and friends kept at a healthy distance. He left them at times to ponder hopeless questions. And at those times, all he wanted was to never be forgotten. – Street poem by unknown artist

Folksam insurance got twisted!

The insurance-industry is a twisted world, so what an happy accident that a editing-messup led to this funky result! 🙂 Not that Folksam is worse than any other insurance-firm, nor better. It was just an accident going right. Over and out.

No despair there buddy, soon we are back on that beach!

Winter sucks, honestly. At least most of the time. There are days when sun is shining and the snow lays white and crisp. Then winter is OK. The rest of the time at least I am in despair once of twice each day. Maybe Prozac is the solution? 😉
