Massa, By The Sea

Massa – Beach, Sea In Remorse?

Beach in sadness. Peter Lindberg Photography
The beach in Marina di Massa, Italy.

The off-season again. I like the off-season. Leaves more to fantasy. And all the trash blown in from the Mediterranean sort of gives you a reciept on how destructive modern society is. During summer and high season everything is cleaned up. Bet the sea is still full of it; garbage dumped by ships owned by greedy owners, by nations that don’t value Mother Earth. By people too poor and uneducated to care or know better. And lots of garbage is being exported by mafia from Italy and the Balkan. So there is the backside of fancy living on the European side, that creeps up on us during winter, as a reminder. Greed hits back. Ignorance hits back. But we get to pay.

Colonia Ettore Motta – Marina di Massa

Colonia Ettore Motta – Left To Decay

Colonia Ettore Motta, Marina di Massa, Italia
Colonia Ettore Motta, built for Gruppo Edison Marina di Massa.

Colonia Ettore Motta in Marina di Massa  was built for Gruppo Edison as a recreation-site for company employes. During World War 2 it was used a s a hospital and after different twists and turns it is now in decay with unclear ownership and responsibilities. Read more here.

Unfortunately the site was closed off when I was there in March this year. As I understand people tend to open up from time to time, allowing urban explorers to enter the area. We will se what next visit in the future brings. 😉

Marina di Massa

Off-season in Marina di Massa

Marina di Massa

Marina di Massa. Off season. March. No-one cleans up after the winter just yet. Shit everywhere. Not so shiny now, right? The people in SUV:s stay far away. So does their money. I don’t miss them. Prefer the shit. 😉

No offense, but beaches are best without too much people. And the amount of scrap that blows in from the sea should be a reminder about how we treat our planet. Throw your garbage where it belongs, and recycle what is recyclable!

Way Out – Rimini

Out - Photographer Peter Lindberg
Rimini, Italy in March 2013

People in the distant. Cloud-shrudded skies and a steady wind. But winter is letting go. Soon comes summer, the heat and all those beach-dwellers. Is it better right now? I think so. Me. You, the sand and the sea.

In Italy…

Vacations are over for this year…

Italians have their vacation mostly in August. Schools start around the 15th of september so then it is over for sure. Everything closes. Perfect for Scandinavians like me that like the beach to myself, more or less. This shot was taken in Giulianova, about 40 km north of Pescara, in the Teramo region of Abruzzo. But the scene could be fetched pretty much anywhere along the  Italian coastline. For Abruzzo it can be said that here we have almost no foreign vacationers all summer.That means better restaurants and people not being fed up with foreigners!

This is a photograph from my new series of images from Italy. This project is just starting and everything should be considered “work in progress”. Stay tuned for more soon and later. It is all about behind the facade, when the season is over and the sun-umbrrellas are tucked away….

A House – Pieces of Sweden

A nice entrance.

Isn’t that what we all try to make? This house has one. In my opinion at least. I like these typical 50’s houses. Don’t miss out on the rest of the pieces at my homepage: Pieces of Sweden

Pieces of Sweden - Fotograf Peter Lindberg Göteborg
Another piece of Sweden

Pieces of Sweden is a long-term project of mine, and is about showing little bits of Sweden that people often (sometimes not so often) walk or drive past, look at but don’t see. There is a hidden beauty even in the less beautiful and these bits of reality often makes me think and fantasize about what might have been going on there in the past.

Spring in Suburbia 2013 – Pieces of Sweden

Pieces of Sweden – Another chunk of it!

As spring Finally comes to Suburbia, new opportunities open for pieces of Sweden to be cut out of reality. This project isn’t something you do on a plan. Images tend to just show themselves when not looking for them. They sort of hide in a NMP-field, like “The Heart of Gold” in “The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy”. They appear at the edge of your eye and fortunately I now have a warning-system alerting me for such as they show themselves. So here we go… If you want to see the rest of this project this far, take a look here: Pieces of Sweden at the Peter Lindberg Photography website

Fresh Fish 2013 – The Last Catwalk

The final show at this years Fresh Fish – Clothes

Fresh Fish – Were Western Sweden’s best upcoming designers take off? The average level of the contestants work at Fresh Fish this year was quite high. It seems to improve year over year. That should also mean the design-schools in Scandinavia get better and better! And that should be good news for anyone who loves fashion; there can never be too many good designers in my opinion. So enjoy these catwalk images, because now there will be another year before you see any such from Fresh Fish again! 🙂
